December 31, 2019
Cambodia’s ranking in Safety Index remains unchanged
Cambodia is still among the least safe countries in Southeast Asia, a recent survey conducted by the US analytics and advisory firm Gallup found.

The Gallup Law and Order Index 2019 ranked Cambodia 58th among 142 countries in the world. Among countries in Southeast Asia, Cambodia is ranked seventh out of nine countries.

Cambodia’s latest ranking in the Safety Index is almost unchanged from last year. In 2018, the Kingdom also ranked 58th out of 142 nations.

Cambodia obtained a score of 81 out of the perfect 100. The Kingdom’s index score this year is an improvement from 2018, where it only obtained 80/100.

The same survey found Southeast Asia as the second safest region in the world. East Asia, which includes China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, is ranked as the safest region in the world.

The findings of the Gallup survey are being questioned by many people, particularly expats, who consider Cambodia an almost-perfect place to live security wise. It is also a fact that, unlike in other major cities in the region, you can walk alone at night in Phnom Penh and other major cities in the Kingdom.

Unsurprisingly, Singapore is ranked as the safest country globally and in Southeast Asia. The next safest country in the region, according to Gallup, is Indonesia, which ranked 16th globally, followed by Myanmar [34th], Philippines [39th], Vietnam [51st] and Thailand [54th].

Neighbouring Laos fared worse than Cambodia at 60th place. To the surprise of many observers, Gallup ranked Malaysia 67th globally, which makes it the least safe country in the region.

Numbeo's methodology does not work:
This section is based on surveys from visitors of this website. Questions for these surveys are similar to many similar scientific and government surveys.

All it takes is a bunch of Duterte's fanboys to go there and vote up the country. I don't buy it.

What a crock of bullshit.
What is the definition of a crime?
If a government puts you in a concentration camp and harvests your organs this not part of the equation?
Then, what about when a person must bribe officials to get day to day business done? Or, drive their scooter across town?
Is it a crime to be taxed by a governement then the taxes are used to spy on an opposition party candidate?
Every chinese who gambled on line committed a crime. Did they count those millions of crimes?
When a Muslim female is violated and knows she will be stoned to death if she reports it...is that a non-crime?
I think you need to narrow your results.
A country? That is a joke.
A city? What part of the city?
Should the chinese committing crimes in Cambodia be counted against Cambodia or china?
The entire world is dangerous as fuck.
There are many places I grew up going to or lived in that you could not pay me to go back to.
I think Cambodia is safe to a degree.
I take many precautions.
Just look at the New Year's statistica coming out of Thailand already for the last few days.
Don't go out on the roads over holidays is a good motto.

As with all statistics, you can skew them in any way you want.

For example, not all countries keep records of certain crimes. And what constitutes as a crime in one country might not constitute as a crime in another.

It's in every governments interests to keep crime statistics low and they will use varying means to do so.

I would take these lists with the pinch of salt they deserve.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.
