Crime facts 2008
Here I have
listed some facts about crime in the City of Pori and in Finland. I have taken the idea from USA where they
publish annual "safest city - most dangerous city" lists. I have included
in these stats the biggest 30 municipalities in Finland (these include cities, towns, rural
municipalities and other municipalities).
2008 was Helsinki's fourth-year-in-a-row to win this "trophy".
Top three in 2008: 1) Helsinki; 2) Vaasa & 3) Turku.
Top three in 2007: 1) Helsinki; 2) Vaasa & 3) Turku.
Top three in 2006: 1) Helsinki; 2) Vaasa & 3) Turku.
Top three in 2005: 1) Helsinki; 2) Rovaniemi & 3) Hämeenlinna.

CONCLUSION:
After studying all three years I came to conclusion that Pori is quite safe city when compared to other Finnish cities.
Helsinki is keeping tightly its grip on the first spot as they've been now three times in a row the number one municipality.
The only drawback for Pori was the jump from 14th place to now 4th in total crimes but still it's not really worrying.
Of course, the goal should be to decrease the crimes as low as possible.
When compared to other countries (see the following) Pori (and Finland) can be considered as very
safe. So don't worry about visiting Pori and Finland.
You have only 0.77% chance of bumbing into one of these crimes in Finland :-)
