Follow the link to the website, but keep in mind that much of the Netherlands is not thought of as vacation areas, I have seen the slums or Rotterdam, to the shipyards on the sea. The tourist town in Amsterdam is safer then you think. Many cops and such. Stay out of the slums and shipyards. Source(s): http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-t/cri_...

American is #24 Netherlands is #51
