DUSHANBE, October 28, 2015, Asia-Plus – Tajikistan is listed among the top ten safest countries to walk alone at night.

The countries in which people feel the safest to walk home alone at night have been revealed in the 2015 Gallup Law and Order Index.

The index is a worldwide measure of people’s sense of personal security in local areas, as well as their own experiences with law enforcement.

The Global Law and Order 2015 report presents Gallup''s latest index results, based on more than 142,000 interviews with adults in 141 countries in 2014.

This report includes exclusive measures that show: the countries where people feel least, most secure; global confidence in police; and the countries where people feel least safe walking alone at night.

For one of the measurements, respondents were asked: “Do you feel safe walking alone at night in the city or area where you live?”

Statista has compiled the ten lowest and highest percentages of ''yes'' answers for all of the countries surveyed.

Tajikistan ranked 8th among 141 countries, achieving 83 percent.  It is followed by Armenia, which ranked 9th with 82 percent.

Singapore and Hong Kong share the honor of the countries in which people are most likely to feel safe, both achieving 91 per cent.

Venezuelan adults are the least likely to say they feel safe walking alone at night, with only 22 per cent.  It has the second-highest murder rate in the world after Honduras.

Gallup''s Law and Order Index is a worldwide measure that gauges people''s sense of personal security in their neighborhoods and their personal experiences with crime and law enforcement. The higher the index score, the higher the proportion of residents in a country who feel safe. This index is important for leaders to monitor because of the strong relationships between these measures and external measures related to economic and social development.
