Numbeo recently released its 2026 Crime and Safety Index report. The data was collected from surveys filled out by visitors to the Numbeo website.

Individual responses were scored between -2 (indicating a strong negative perception) and +2 (indicating a strong positive perception).

To ensure data accuracy, Numbeo uses spam filtering algorithms, thereby discarding input from users who exhibit suspicious behavior.

The results of the crime index survey were then converted into a scale of 0 to 100 points, with the following categories:

Very low: 20 and below
Low: 20.01-40
Medium: 40.01-60
High: 60.01-80
Very High: Above 80

This calculation method also applies to the safety index, meaning the higher a country's safety index score, the safer it is considered.

Using this methodology, Singapore became the safest country in Southeast Asia, scoring a safety index of 77.5 points. Meanwhile, its crime index stands at 22.5 points.

In contrast to Singapore, Myanmar emerged as the country with the highest crime index in Southeast Asia, scoring 51.5 points. Meanwhile, its safety index stands at 48.5 points.

As for Indonesia's crime index in early 2026, it ranked fourth out of the nine countries evaluated. Meanwhile, Indonesia's safety index ranked sixth, as shown in the chart above.
