Hi,

We would like to talk about a sensitive but important topic: do you feel safe in Finland?

How would you define the level of safety in the country?

Can you walk safely during the day and at night without any fear?

Do you think there is a high rate of criminality, social problems or tensions?

Share with us your insight on safety in Finland and in the city you live in.

Thank you in advance,

Christine

In Finland the life is very good, a big quality of life there is, but some things about safety are not good, the rasism is very high in the small towns, the finnish people wich are drunken in the night beat with the fist in the metal sheet of the cars wich are parked outside on the road, and after this they are running out, and Police cannot do anything about this, so I consider after three years worked in Finland, that during the night there is not safety at all, but if you call the Police they come and make them duty and they are very corect people, this I like very much in Finland.

Finland is a great country and they are the number one in Europe now from my opinion.
