No Crime, No Army
Iceland is a remarkable example of a nation without a standing army and a police force that operates without weapons. The primary reason behind this unique state of affairs is the country’s commitment to economic equality and societal equity, greatly reducing crime.
Stringent weapon acquisition regulations in Iceland primarily contribute to the infrequent involvement of firearms in criminal incidents. The nation places significant emphasis on controlling the drug trade to minimize crime rates. Additionally, Iceland’s strong commitment to social welfare and education fosters a culture that encourages the development of responsible and law-abiding citizens, further contributing to the overall low crime rates in the country.
