Unlike a best-dressed list or most beautiful countries list, this is one list no-one really wants to feature on and does not come with the same kind of bragging rights.
Now you might be wondering what authority this random website has to compile this list?
They compile their lists by carrying out various surveys that gather information about the quality of life, crime indexes, property costs around the world, and the cost of living.

In order to compile the Crime Index by City 2021 list, a perception-based index that focused on respondents' feelings rather than actual crime statistics was used.
The site did say, however, that the surveys conducted are similar to any scientific and government surveys, and they had a very tough elimination method that would get rid of any potential spam.

On the other side of the scale, which could be considered the "safer" side, the top ten include Geneva (Switzerland), Taipei (Taiwan), Quebec City (Canada), and the number one least dangerous city in the world is Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates).
This list isn't the greatest news for South African cities, but hopefully, in the future, our beautiful and much-loved cities will not take any of the top spots.
