Wow incredible.
Iceland is for sure top.
I have never felt safer
I am surprised the Nordics are not above us. Sweden feels incredibly safe.

Before anyone loses the head, just be conscious that these indices give wildly different results depending on what metrics they choose. In this case it looks like a lot of the indicators are to do with military and international conflict, in which case it’s completely logical that we’d score highly

Surprised we are so high. Even with the stats the capital has never felt less safe, with all of the scum running the place.
Iceland is no surprise , absolutely lovely country . Its far from sae for your wallet their €14 for a coffee in one spot the last time I was there.

I wonder if under reporting or Gardaí not following up plays into the stats. I’d imagine that a lot of the youth assaults and racial assaults go unreported (based on my observations and assumptions). I’d be happy for someone to show any rebuttal with supporting evidence.

If a crime doesn’t have a pulse number tagged to it then it never happened according to the powers that be.

Ireland is a crime ridden liberal cesspit that is being overrun by criminals, there was way less crime in the 80’s during the heroin epidemic.
This is great and hopefully silences a lot of thr knobs who think we’re living in a war zone. But I think it’s also important to highlight another study/report we score highly in and that’s the V-Dem democracy index. Despite our obvious flaws, Ireland ranks highly when it comes to democratic freedoms. We are like 7th or something. Not enough is made of this fact. When most other countries are pivoting right. We still manage to remain broadly liberal and left/centrist in our politics. We don’t have a on meaningful right wing party, we have as much freedom as most. And I think this peace rating very much correlates with our overall democratic freedoms.
Yes it’s flawed but then so is everyone else’s democracy. It’s not a perfect system. But I don’t think we give ourselves enough credit for this. If we fix housing and health we be a damn great place to live. We’re some of the way there. A ways to go but we are getting there.

Wait till we build our new navy and air force and start attacking people. We could all try and get concealed six guns like they guy who shot the trespasser on his land.

Most places are relatively safe, until you get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Increase poverty or the number of criminals, and crime will inevitably increase. But it’s not just about those figures. It’s about how safe you feel in your community or wherever it is that you visit. I’ve grown up in „rough“ places but have been fortunate enough not to encounter any serious trouble. I’d say it’s probably no worse now than I can remember but I’m a cautious person who considers everyone to be a potential murderer.

To have any intellectual analysis on the result, we would need to know what is the definition of „peace“ or „safety“ as well as how the „global peace index“ is measured and how this is related to the „peace“ or „safety“.
There are a lot of „indexes“ that use names that have very little in common with the „concept“ they seem to reflect, the best example being „happiness index“ which actually has little to do with the feeling of happiness that is a thing only sentient animals have (a country is a political concept) and as a matter of fact does not really measure human feelings directly.
For example, I might think that for me „safest“ means that there is no risk of being attacked physically by anybody in any circumstances and i can freely walk outside any time of the day.
I might mean nothing to me whether the country has a big military or small military or whether the country has political or other kinds of disputes with other countries.

The GPI is not about how much street hassle there is in Dublin. Its a global macro survey, focused on ‚peace‘ not feelings or stats on crime rates – „The Global Peace Index (GPI) is a report that ranks 163 independent states and territories according to their level of peacefulness. It is the world’s leading measure of global peacefulness, offering data-driven analysis on trends in peace, its economic value, and how to develop peaceful societies, according to UNESCO. The GPI quantifies the absence of violence or the fear of violence and uses a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 indicating a high degree of violence, according to Resource Watch“.

Have been mugged several times, had a knife pulled on me, a syringe, pushed around a good few times and lost count how many times I’ve been harassed. Not to mention the amount of casual violence and harassment I’ve seen on public transport and in cities (cough Limerick)
I guess this index counts peace-time safe, but having lived abroad in actual safe countries we’re well up in terms of general scum-baggery.
