Research from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) indicates that Jakarta is the least safe city in Asia, scoring 53.7 on a safety index. On a scale of 100, Indonesia's capital received low scores: 48.5 for digital security; 53.11 for health security; 54.0 for infrastructure security; and 59.2 for personal security. The research notes that Jakarta doesn't experience a high rate of serious crime, but rather a higher incidence of internet fraud.
Tehran (Iran) and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) follow in second and third place respectively, with safety scores of 53.8 and 54.9. This research assesses not only common life-threatening crimes, but also incorporates digital crime and security, measuring the likelihood of individuals becoming victims of privacy violations or identity theft online.
