Methodology:

The dataset ranks 51 locations and compiles 3 separate rankings for Australian cities, EU countries and US cities, based on the number of burglaries. Three different factors were used, two of which were used in the final ranking. After the data were collected for the factors, the data were normalized and each factor was given a score between 0 and 1. If there were no data, a score of 0 was given. The normalized values ​​were added to give each site a total score out of 3 (with a maximum of 2 for the final ranking). Sites were ranked from highest to lowest score, based on total scores.
