- Perceived criminality in society
- Violent crime, number of homicides, access to weapons and the number of people in jail
- Political instability, relations with neighboring countries, civil liberties, freedom of press, gender inequality, adult literacy, education spending, enrollment in primary/secondary/higher education

Hello, 101. place for USA isnt fair, i believe. While numbers of americans in jail are shocking compare to Europe, we shouldnt celebrate Europe for our low cost army (=low level of militarization). We dont have do it, because USA do. Czech rep promised we will spend 2% of our GDP for army when we joined NATO and we have never done it. Whole Europe have never done it, with exceptions UK and France! Why we should? USA will protect us anyway, so...
