The Netherlands is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Brunei. It ranks 9th out of 40 European countries in terms of safety while walking alone at night. Additionally, according to the Global Peace Index, it holds the 18th position among 160 countries worldwide. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in the Netherlands is 0.7 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Brunei's rate of 0.5. Female murder rates are lower in the Netherlands at 0.4 compared to Brunei's 1.2. When looking at organized crime, Brunei scores better in several categories, such as mafia groups and drug trafficking, indicating a lower prevalence of organized crime compared to the Netherlands. Overall, while both countries have their own challenges, the Netherlands remains a relatively safe destination for tourists.
