For the report published earlier this week, American analytics firm Gallup asked nearly 175,000 people in 144 countries and territories via telephone and in person about their "confidence in their local police, their feelings of personal safety, and the incidence of theft and assault or mugging in the past year." The higher the score on a 100-point scale, the higher the proportion of the population that feels secure.
With 86 points, Vietnam shared 10th place with Canada, Germany, Kosovo, and Malta.
Singapore and Turkmenistan topped with 97 points, China was in second place with 94 while Iceland and Kuwait shared third place with 93.
Afghanistan was at the bottom for a second consecutive year with 43 points.
Regionally, law enforcement in western Europe got the highest public trust.
