Europe may very well be the safest continent in the world, considering that none of its cities appear in the World’s Most Dangerous Cities ranking. However, there are still some cities on the Old Continent that one should be careful about when visiting.
One such city is Rotterdam in the Netherlands. This city tops the chart for European lack of safety. Poland’s Lodz takes second while Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom occupies the third position in the European city danger rankings.
Actual crime rates and perceptions are completely different things. Several official polls have been carried out to assess where people don’t feel safe in Europe. The cities where people felt most secure were Oviedo and Groningen, while residents of Athens (Greece), Istanbul (Turkey), Sofia (Bulgaria) and Bucharest (Romania) felt the most endangered.
Do wealth and standards of living have anything to do with security? Crime statistics do suggest that poverty and murder prevalence could be linked to each other, and some of the world’s most dangerous places are indeed located within countries plagued by political turbulence, corruption, low standards of living and economic underdevelopment. Hopefully, figures for all of these dangerous cities will decline in years to come.
