Venezuela should definitely be here. It has the highest crime rate of all countries

According to my source, Venezuela is 20th on the list so doesn't quite make the list. Just because it has the highest crime rate in the world, it doesn't necessarily mean that it would make the top 15. The source I'm using states that how dangerous a country is is calculated by not just the crime rate, but also whether there are any ongoing conflicts in the country, it's overall safety and security, and militarization.

It's misleading to call these the most dangerous countries. You can see the methodology for the list here. Countries are ranked according to the Global Peace Index, which seeks to assess how much countries contribute to peace, taking various measurements such as deaths due to external conflicts, military expenditure, violent crime or the ratio of refugees within the society.

For example Turkey made the list in part due to having a high refugee population and its involvement in the Syrian conflict. However, physically travelling to Turkey and living in Turkey is arguably much safer than a country like Burkina Faso, where bandits are widespread, the police are corrupt, the country is unstable and homicides are almost certainly undercounted.

How do they determine where to put North Korea on the list? Surely Russias placement is also propaganda…. I can think of a dozen more dangerous countries
