Worried about safety? This criterion is your peace-of-mind meter for Country A versus Country B. Imagine it like comparing neighborhoods – are you walking into a quiet suburb or a bustling city center at night? We dive into crime stats, from serious stuff to petty theft – think 'unattended hockey stick' gamble in Canada versus 'phone-snatching near Big Ben' risk in the UK. We also consider police effectiveness and any social unrest that might make things a bit edgy. Basically, we help you gauge if you can relax and enjoy, or if you need to keep your wits about you. Is it a 'poutine-comforting' level of safe, or a 'full English breakfast – hearty but with a few unexpected beans' kind of safe?
