context_page_description: Crime in Singapore is extremely low compared to other developed nations and the world in general.
  Police statistics released in the year 2016 suggested 33,608 criminal cases from a population of more than five and a half million, with most of them being cybercrimes. Between the years 2014 and 2015, there was an observed statistical decrease in violent or serious property offenses, housebreaking, theft, and unlicensed moneylending harassment.
  As suggested by foreign travel advisory from the United Kingdom, petty crime such as pickpocketing and street theft are extremely rare in Singapore. Violent crime is also deemed as extremely rare and almost non-existent. Threats of terrorism remain a major concern, as is the case with most developed countries. As a constant reminder from consulars to possible drug traffickers such as the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, penalties for drug offences such as trafficking in Singapore remain severe and include capital punishment for certain cases of possession.
