The size of the country means extreme events should be more common and more extreme than in a European country even if it's no worse. Europe as a whole has its own problems, just of a different nature - like ongoing terrorism and sexual assaults. They also don't have such a big underclass of poor and hopeless people in geographically concentrated areas like America has.

- Dansvidania 7y agoas I said, things are crap here too, in many diversified and creative ways. I am from Italy and we have crippling corruption and criminality problems, even though we have a fifth of the population in 0.03 times the land area. I am familiar with the problems that scare tourists away :) I would only like to point out that you quote terrorism and sexual assault as things comparable to your own police force abusing power over your citizens. I think there are a few important differences.
- jjeaff 7y agoPolice abuse is a travesty and must be stopped. That being said, unless you live in a high crime area, you are unlikely to have much if any interaction with the police at all. And when you do, it will likely be friendly. Basing your decision on a fear of police abuse is like people who don't swim in the ocean because they are afraid of shark attacks.
