Surely they still have crime. When visiting certain markets we were warned by our friends to be careful of pick pockets, there are rapes and murders, but per head of population, nowhere as bad as New Zealand or anywhere else in the world. When walking back to our hotel on one visit, after dinning out with some friends, one of our friends saw a young man they knew a little drunk. They asked him what the problem was, and he told them that had broken up with his girlfriend and had had a few drinks. My friend warned the young man that if the police saw him in that state, he could have problems. They got him a taxi and told the taxi driver to take him home. Later they told me that if caught in that state by the police, the young man could have been sent to jail and maybe even caned for breaking the law.
