Bali rocked by spate of murder cases – is Indonesian island more dangerous now?
AI Summary
Bali has experienced a series of violent crimes, including the kidnapping and murder of a Ukrainian man in February and the stabbing of a Dutch tourist, raising concerns about the island's safety. These incidents, some involving foreign nationals and appearing premeditated, have prompted questions about whether Bali is becoming a hub for international crime. While a criminology professor at Udayana University suggests the *quality* of crimes has increased, he states that the *quantity* has not, and Indonesians still commit more crimes than foreigners. The recent high-profile and well-executed nature of the crimes, however, has contributed to a perception among the public that Bali is becoming more dangerous.
