Cambodia is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, ranked 68th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index. However, it is significantly less safe than Japan, which ranks 17th.
In terms of crime statistics, Japan has a very low murder rate of 0.2 per 100,000 people, while Cambodia's rate is higher at 1.8.
