Reported incidents of crime per 100 citizens, taken from Interpol stats and reported by IL:

Ecuador 0.29 per 100
Costa Rica 0.84
Uruguay 1.03
Chile 1.37
U.S. 5.03

Equador is the safest place on The earth...or the place with the least reported crime LOL...Iam looking at retiring there with the millions made from the market ;-)(Ward that is a tongue in Cheek comment dont take it literally)

Most people in Ecuador have few possessions and there would be nothing worth taking if they were to be robbed. The very small upper class, however, generally live in walled estates that either have bars on the windows or guards at the entrance. The same is true for businesses where very often you will see bars on the windows and rented security guards with machine guns at the door. It is surprising that there are not more incidents involving these guards as they are just kids hired to hold guns with very little training and essentially a license to kill if they feel it is necessary.
