Apart from that, the Rentola report is not comprehensive and has covered all aspects of safety. One should also use more factors such as GDP, nightlife, connectivity with bigger cities, and many more. Regardless the report could be used to choose a more optimal location for yourself, considering all other factors that may influence your decision making.
