Japanese security

[Shanis]

Hi everyone, I've just read an article about the ten most securest holiday countrys in the world. So I thought "How secure is Japan?"^^ Japan wasn't in the ranking but they metioned that the japanese are very law-abiding, is that true and how "dangerous" is it to walk around at night (after a party or disco etc) in a city/town/village? Are there many thiefs or perverts who rape people? Are there teenagers (older counts too xD) who walk around and beat people up just because they like to fight or drunk too much?

Japan is the safest, and most honest, country I've been to. I know people who lost money and had it returned. Of course there is some crime, but mostly non violent.

01. ACB Islands (Aruba, Bonaire und Curacoa) in the caribian
02. Dubai
03. Ireland
04. Cyprus
05. New Zealand
06. Mauritius
07. Bhutan (Asia but don't know where exactly)
08. Switzerland
09. Iceland
10. Singapore

These are the ten most securest countries in the ranking. The security descending so ACB Islands are the most securest.

Dubai and Ireland are "more secure" than Japan? I guess I am not sure what "secure" means, but in terms of safety I would say Japan is very safe.

Second what MMM said, I was shock seeing Dubai and Ireland made it to the list when Japan didn't... Singapore as well, I will choose Japan over Singapore in terms of safety

Do you have the link for the article, or know where it is? I'd like to read it if you know where it is.

It was a german articel so I don't know if you can read it but it was on the MSN starthomepage MSN, Messenger und Hotmail sowie Nachrichten, Unterhaltung, Video, Sport, Lifestyle, Finanzen, Auto uvm. bei MSN so you have to look at the site of your country if it's posted there too^^ And I think Japan isn't in the ranking cause it's not a holiday country for germans^^

Japan is easily the safest country I've ever been to.

I can't see how Ireland, Switzerland and a few others are so high on that list
(and higher than Japan). It makes me not believing in that list at all.
