Crime & Saftey

Calgary city is generally a safe city because it does not have a large number of population also it is considered one of the modern cities that alot of tourist come to see it everywhere for its beautiful mountain view and the great nature. In a statistics made in 2005 about the murder rate, it shows that there is 2 murders per 100,000 inhabitants which is a very low percentage compared to Chicago or Baltimore. I think my city Jeddah is safer than here because the law in my country is strict in dealing with crimes and murders also Saudi Arabia does not allow the selling of alchohol or guns, therefore, the number of crimes are really low. People in Saudi Arabia are afraid to hurt others because they know that the punishment system is harsh, for example, if someone killed another person mostly he will be senteced to death unless the family of the victim forgive him. I think the safety tips to avoid crimes is to not go out late at night and to try not to walk alone, always go out with a group of people. Also do not walk in dark alleys and try to walk in a lighted street.
