The Moroccan kingdom is the 83rd worldwide on the law and order index and the 9th in the MENA region, finds a 2020 Gallup report, an American analytics, and advisory company based in Washington.
Results are based on telephone and face-to-face interviews with approximately 1,000 adults in 115 countries, aged 15 and older, conducted throughout 2020.
Gallup’s Law and Order Index used 4 questions about the trust in the local police force, the safety of walking alone at night, and the chance of getting mugged or assaulted during the year, to gauge people’s sense of personal security and their personal experiences with crime and law enforcement.
The index rates the studied countries on 100 points, with the safest country in the world being Norway with 94/100, according to the Gallup report.
UAE ranked as the safest country in MENA and the second in the world with 93/100, followed by Jordan (89), Saudi Arabia (86), Egypt (85), Israel (84), Iran (82), Iraq (78), Algeria (75) and Morocco (75).
According to the index, UAE is the safest country worldwide where people can walk alone, however, it’s the only MENA country in the top 10 list.
More than seven in 10 adults worldwide (71%) in 2020 said they have confidence in their local police. However, the results vary significantly by region, in MENA confidence in Police increased by 1 point, compared to last year’s report.
However, the report results are not categorized by gender and race, factors that can play a major role in giving more insight into the sense of personal security’s situation in the world.
