The safety picture
A plain-language read of the sourced figures belowFor Jakarta we hold no vetted homicide or robbery rate, and with those inputs missing we do not compute a composite score.
Only two of five incidence categories have data, so treat the profile as provisional. The clearest signal is the official guidance, where the governments we track do not fully agree. The US, Canada, and Australia put Indonesia at their second advisory level, increased caution, while the UK is more cautious at level three, reconsider travel. Each of those advisories names pickpocketing and scams as risks for travellers. On how safe people feel, 62.8% said they are comfortable walking alone after dark, but that result covers Indonesia as a whole and not Jakarta on its own.
