"Studies" are put out by people who can't help being biased one way or another, I find studies 'entertaining'.
However, Japan on the whole does have a good reputation; that's my bias.
I have experience of living in three of them, Tokyo, Stockholm and London, and I would rank those in the same order. To tell the truth I have never been afraid in Tokyo, except when there have been earth tremors.
Weird, I would have though Montreal was safer than New York.
I guess it depends on what part of New York they're talking about....I feel safe in Manhattan but not in the Bronx. And I'm surprised to see Mexico City on the list as well.
Chicago #16 - wow!
