Additionally, Sweden's organized crime indices suggest a lower level of state crime (2.5 for Sweden vs. 8.5 for Nepal) and various other crime categories. While Sweden ranks 36th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, the overall safety metrics suggest that it is a safer environment for tourists compared to Nepal.
