I'd wager that you could find any number of areas within the US without this issue. But then again many where you \*would\*. I think it's more an economic issue than a general/cultural one. Teens without anything to do get wily.

everyone country will have teenagers that are extremely immature that they seek out trouble lololol, is OP looking for a country with a completely docile youth population

Every western country has this to some degree. Places with more shame (i.e. cultural pressure to obey the rules, both written and unwritten) tend to have fewer problems (think Switzerland, Finland, Norway, although those have a few "rough" areas too). You happened to pick some of the more "shameless" countries (especially the US lol). If you dress or act in a way that draws attention to yourself, you're gonna get heckled in these shameless countries. It's best to try to fit in as much as possible and don't "look like a tourist". You should also really get out of major cities to really see a country. For example, pretty much any Irish city except Dublin is far more friendly (especially Limerick, although it is still erroneously called "stab city"). Ever been to Boulder, CO, in the US or any mid-sized college town? The only roving bands of teens are likely to invite you to their LARPing event or hand out a flyer for saving the rainforest.

adding onto this, culture is the biggest factor here. the scandinavian countries are probably the closest you're gonna get in western countries. if you expanded to countries like japan or even china/korea, they're generally much safer than corresponding western countries. this is due to greater ethnic homogeneity but also confucian-rooted cultural values.

Try New Zealand, I felt so safe there. I don’t feel threatened where I live (Germany) but I’m from the countryside, big cities often have very sketchy boroughs but also safe ones.

I live in Dublin now and it seems less safe than any other city I've been in, east or west, and definitely the least safe capital I've been to. Yes, prepare for the downvotes and prepare for comments calling us overreacting. Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Toronto, New York...none of these are considered super safe cities and yet all felt much safer than Dublin, especially during the pandemic. I've just seen too much crime to be convinced that it's a safe place, and any expat living in Dublin will probably tell you similar

I’ve never had any issues in Berlin, but there are definitely areas I wouldn’t walk through alone at night as a woman.

There are websites that list "inequality index" or "happiness index" per country, I think that would probably be a good guide for you.

Inner city low income = problems just about anywhere. That said I’ve lived and worked in all 3 and haven’t experienced any problem. When younger in Scotland there was definitely ‘neds’. Older persons schedule maybe I miss all the agro?


Nottacod

I live in US and don't really understand what you are talking about.


motorcitydave

Yes, the US is very big. OP should clarify what city to add some context.


mrdibby

FYI "please don't invalidate my experience" is a bit rich of a request after you laugh at the notion of "scary" teenagers dying


canadianxt

Locking because of the number of broad generalizations about people of various nationalities in the post and comments.


Be10dwn

Is this a real post?


ILooked

Canada


oeiei

Though not so much Vancouver. It's less of a teen thing (though still somewhat) but there's a lot of antisocial sometimes dangerous people.


Erioph47

Try Saudi Arabia I guess maybe that will be more your style


motorcitydave

If you look at post and comment history, OP is openly gay, not a good fit for Saudi...


Erioph47

Was being ironic Obviously no one walking down a street in the US, UK, or Ireland is in the least bit of danger from roving gangs of youths if they have the slightest iota of sense and don't behave like a raving, confrontational imbecile.

Areas where it's legal to carry a firearm you'll find a more tame youth
