Is there a lot of crime in Sri Lanka?

Answer this Question

We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"Sri Lanka has a relatively low crime rate compared to other countries in the region. However, there have been reports of violent crimes such as robberies, assaults, and murders. In addition, there have been reports of drug trafficking, human trafficking, and other organized crime activities. The government has taken steps to address these issues, including increased police presence and increased penalties for certain crimes," remarked another expat in Sri Lanka.
