Crime facts 2010
Here I have
listed some facts about crime in the City of Pori and in Finland. I have taken the idea from USA where they
publish annual "safest city - most dangerous city" lists. I have included
in these stats the 30 biggest municipalities (these include cities, towns, rural municipalities and other municipalities).
Top three in 2010: 1) Vaasa; 2) Helsinki & 3) Turku.
Top three in 2009: 1) Helsinki; 2) Järvenpää & 3) Pori.
Top three in 2008: 1) Helsinki; 2) Vaasa & 3) Turku.
Top three in 2007: 1) Helsinki; 2) Vaasa & 3) Turku.
Top three in 2006: 1) Helsinki; 2) Vaasa & 3) Turku.
Top three in 2005: 1) Helsinki; 2) Rovaniemi & 3) Hämeenlinna.
When calculated the average of all six crimes during the past five years (over 50 000 inhabitant towns only), Helsinki
is again the winner:
Top three in 2010: 1) Helsinki; 2) Vaasa & Turku.
Top three in 2009: 1) Helsinki; 2) Turku & 3) Vaasa.
Top three in 2008: 1) Helsinki; 2) Turku & 3) Vaasa.

These stats probably contain only "aggravated assaults".
Conclusion
is that Finland is very safe place to visit when compared to USA or England. BUT, these stats have
been compiled from different sources so figures might vary according to how they were gathered
originally. Still, this gives you a some sort of an idea of how these cities differ from each others BUT (another but),
these figures stated here are just statistics of what has happened BEFORE. The future is unknown to everybody so therefore
wherever you are and wherever you visit, you should be careful out there. Use your head!!
If I have time I might include other countries also...
Finnish statistics have been compiled from Statistics Finland's website. You can find them in here
