Is the Dominican Republic a safe country to live in?

[/vc_column_text][g5plus_space][vc_column_text css_animation=”bounceInLeft”]Many of my clients have often asked me this question since some television media have been in charge of making us see ourselves as a dangerous country, a moment ago I found a post that spoke about this topic and the truth was I felt a little angry because everything What he said were falsehoods about the Dominican Republic, many people tell you when you are about to visit the Dominican Republic that you should be careful with crime, robberies, etc. And it’s true you must be careful there are thieves yes, but where not? Which country does not have crime, in which country there are no robberies.
