No. 4 Jordan
Crime in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, thanks in part to a strong police force and relatively low corruption, has traditionally been rare, by both regional and global standards, making Jordan one of the countries where people feel safest. Crime has, however, ticked up slightly in recent years, attributable perhaps to the weak global economy and investment scandals, which have left many in Jordan more desperate and economically unstable than in years past.
