How is cutting off at "150 most populated cities" relevant for this comparison?

Out of the 150 cities, 39 or 26% of them are in China making the candidate pool quite imbalanced to start with?

Going by the same data, we could also claim that:

"The Safest Cities in the World"

Qingdao China 7.42

Wuxi China 7.84

Hefei China 11.03

Nagoya Japan 11.21

Nanjing China 13.31

Ningbo China 14.75

Ji'nan China 15.79

Suzhou China 16.63

Dalian China 17.53

Fukuoka Japan 18.59

Xiamen China 19.09

They look to be located somewhere around Darwin Australia judging from their blog posts.

Seems like an okay city to line with cameras judging by the wiki page : "Darwin has had a history of alcohol abuse and violent crime, with 6,000 assaults in 2009, of which 350 resulted in broken jaws and noses—more than anywhere else in the world, according to the Royal Darwin Hospital."
