These are the most dangerous countries in the world, where people feel most insecure here.

According to the Numbeo Crime Index 2025, Haiti, Papua New Guinea and Venezuela are considered the most insecure countries. The report is based on the opinion of the common people about their safety, not on government figures.

If you are planning to travel abroad or are thinking of settling in a new country, then often you must be thinking about the safety in that country. What people think about safety around the world has been revealed recently in Numbeo's Crime Index Report 2025. This report tells in which countries people feel most insecure. The special thing is that these figures are not based on any government or police department but on the opinion of common people.

What is Crime Index

This crime index of Numbeo is actually a crowd-sourced rating system which has been prepared on the basis of feedback received from the citizens of the world. It measures how safe people feel in a country, especially when they go out alone at night. In this report, ratings have been given keeping in mind issues like fear of crime, robbery, sexual harassment, murder, theft and social security. This score is measured on a scale of zero to hundred. Where zero means very safe and hundred means very unsafe.

These are the most dangerous countries in the world

According to Numbeo's Crime Index 2025, Haiti is at the top among the countries of the world where people feel most unsafe. Where people's concern about security has been seen the most. After this are countries like Papua New Guinea and Venezuela. Where the crime level has been felt to be very high. Afghanistan and South Africa are also included in this list. Where people feel very unsafe about incidents of violence and crime. Apart from this, countries like Honduras, Trinidad and Tobago, Syria and Jamaica are also included in the list. Where citizens remain afraid of crime in public places. In these countries, not only property related crimes are more, but serious incidents like sexual violence and murders are also common. Overall, the situation in these countries is such that people there somehow manage themselves during the day, but they do not feel free from danger to go out alone at night.

How is the situation in India

India is not included in the top 10 most unsafe countries in this list, but India has been placed in the category of countries with moderate crime. That is, the level of crime here is neither too high nor too low. There is concern about security in India, especially in metros and more populated areas.

This report is different from government figures

This report also states that government figures sometimes do not reveal the whole truth. In many countries, people do not trust the police and do not report crimes. Some governments even hide the figures for their political benefit. In such a situation, this crime index is based on the insecurity felt by the people, which is more effective in real life.

Why is this report important

Security is not just a game of figures. This is a topic related to people's thinking and their experience. This report tells that before going or settling somewhere, it is important to know how safe the local people feel there. So the next time you think of going to a new country, understand the feelings of the people there more than the government statistics. Because insecurity is felt not only in statistics but also in life.
