Japan, Slovakia, and Cyprus are the top 3 “safe countries” to travel to… “Dangerous” are South Africa, the United States, and Sweden

[July 26, KOREA WAVE] The US security company ADT recently released travel safety analysis data for major countries, ranking South Africa as the "most dangerous country in the world to travel" and Japan as the "safest." A great travel destination." South Korea was excluded from this survey. Scored on a 10-point scale, South Africa was 'most dangerous' with a score of 0.81, followed by the United States (2.17), Sweden (2.28), France (2.40) and Jamaica (2.42). South Africa has one of the highest rates of violent crime in the world, with more than 20,000 people murdered each year out of a population of about 60 million. The safest country to travel to is Japan (7.51 points), followed by Slovakia (7.46 points), Cyprus (7.39 points), Norway (7.25 points) and Portugal (7.11 points). Countries surveyed were selected based on data on tourist visits (2017-19) from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The safety score is based on the World Population Review (WPR) crime rate data by country. (c) KOREA WAVE/AFPBB News

It's the immigrant policy that makes Sweden one of the most dangerous countries to visit.

From one of the safest countries in the world 20 years ago, to one of the most dangerous countries today.

Sweden is not a dangerous country at all. I dont understand where people get this from. From media it seems US right wingers are obsessed with Sweden for some reason.

Ive been to Sweden many times. Just like other Nordic countries, its one of safest countries on earth. To even put it in the same box as Jamaica and South Africa is ridiculous.

Maybe the report is flawed.

Because usually they are just using statistics, like crime reports for every 1 thousand citizens.

Just because the crime was done in 1 place (immigrant area), which is only 0.01% of the whole Sweden, it's assumed the the whole Sweden is dangerous.
