Bangladesh scores 81 and ranks 15 out of 144 countries in the law and order index issued by Gallup, Washington-based analytics and advisory organization, in its latest report published on Tuesday.

According to Gallup, the law and order index is a composite score based on people's reported confidence in their local police, their feelings of personal safety, and the incidence of theft and assault or mugging in the past year.

The higher the score, the higher the proportion of the population that reports feeling secure. The index score for the world in 2019 was 82 out of 100 - unchanged from the previous year. Ninety countries posted scores lower than this average. Bangladesh received 81 along with Pakistan and ranks 15 on the list.
