Safety
Personal security is a core element for the well-being of individuals. Do you feel safe out walking, alone at night, for example? In Germany, about 75% of people say that they feel safe walking alone at night. The homicide rate (the number of murders per 100 000 inhabitants) is a more reliable measure of a country's safety level because, unlike other crimes, murders are usually always reported to the police. Germany's homicide rate is 0.5.
