The results are based on surveys of website visitors. Numbeo states that the questions are similar to those used in many similar scientific and government surveys. Each survey entry is recorded as a number between -2 and +2. -2 meaning strongly negative and +2 meaning strongly positive.<\/p>\n<p>About Europe, <strong>Numbeo confirms that the feeling of insecurity in France is persistent<\/strong>. This is a trend that has been observed for several years. Although this assessment needs to be qualified in the light of official statistics from the Ministry of the Interior. The latter provide a better snapshot of criminal activity and violence in the country.<\/p>\n<p>For the year <strong>2020<\/strong>the data <strong>interstats<\/strong> - which bring together and analyse all the Ministry's figures. <strong>show a general decline in delinquency and crime<\/strong>. The reason for this is <strong>the different confinements<\/strong>. According to official figures, s<strong>he \"sexual violence\", \"fraud\" and \"assault and battery\" segments are the only ones to be included.<\/strong> are reporting an increase.<\/p>\n<p>2019 is therefore a better benchmark for the state of crime and security in France. That year, <strong>the statistics highlighted an upsurge in the \"homicide\", \"assault and battery\" and \"rape\" segments<\/strong>. There was a slight increase in the \"non-violent theft from persons\" and \"theft from vehicles\" segments.<\/p>\n<p>Robberies with weapons\" and \"dwelling burglaries\" remained stable in 2019, while \"theft of vehicle accessories\", \"violent unarmed robberies\", \"vehicle thefts\" and \"deliberate destruction and damage\" fell.<\/p>\n<p>The fact remains that <strong>perception of insecurity<\/strong> in French cities is a <strong>a real handicap to the image of these towns. <\/strong>This can have a negative impact on their appeal in international circles.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #a71f31\">France in the second half of Europe's least safe cities<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to Numbeo, in the ranking of European cities perceived as the safest, <strong>French towns are far down the list<\/strong>. On the <strong>158 cities in Europe<\/strong>the following are not available <strong>no French city in the top half of the rankings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In this inglorious ranking, <strong>Nice is the safest city in France<\/strong>The C\u00f4te d'Azur came in 95th place.
