| 557657 | 2007-06-09 11:20:00 | According to a Global Peace Index, that gathered information on 121 countries, the safest countires in order are: 1. Norway 2. New Zealand 3. Denmark 4. Ireland 5. Japan 6. Finland 7. Sweden 8. Canada 9. Portugal 10. Austria Given we made number two, it never ceases to amaze me that the Sensible Sentencing Trust continues to call for tougher sentences, compulsory military training for toddlers and whatever other punishments enter their heads. Looks like the Justice system must be working just fine - admittedly we should take a quick look at what Norway is doing. No prizes for guessing most dangerous. |

| 557658 | 2007-06-09 11:37:00 | ... it never ceases to amaze me that the Sensible Sentencing Trust continues to call for tougher sentences, compulsory military training for toddlers ...That idea has its merits, within 6 months they will be folding and cleaning their own nappies :p :thumbs: | Myth (110) | ||
| 557659 | 2007-06-09 12:22:00 | Perhaps its the influence of The Sensible Sentencing Trust that is responsible for this trend, surely if we go in the other direction of hugging the poor crims and while crying apologize for creating a society that caused them to rob and kill us then the crime rate would rise. | Metla (12) | ||

It seems to be attempt to quantify "peace", whatever that means to those that put it together. Look down the list (en.wikipedia.org) at the countries that rank higher than the US. The US has its flaws, but China, Egypt, Cuba, Tanzania etc rank higher. That ain't right. |

| 557661 | 2007-06-09 19:20:00 | And don't forget, 'safest', grammatically-speaking, is a relative term. Your own individual safety is relative to the situation - you can almost always be safer. To make the determination that NZ came second on the list, what were the criteria considered? |

| 557666 | 2007-06-10 01:56:00 | its a little flawed. a low poulation country that has an almost non existing military will always rate high. plus countries like NZ that have very little dangerous wild life will rate highly. it has very little bearing on actual crime in the country. |
