Latvia vs Sweden: safety comparison

Latvia sits a little lower on the Warnely composite score than Sweden (13 against 19), but the gap is small enough that the practical difference comes down to category-by-category detail rather than the headline. The biggest single category gap is in crime, where Latvia scores 1/5 against Sweden's 2/5. The US State Department currently carries a Level 1 advisory on Latvia and a Level 2 on Sweden. Women's-safety rating differs: Latvia is Generally Safe and Sweden is Very Safe. Drug law diverges sharply: Sweden carries a tier-severe regime against Latvia's more permissive framework.
