Same as Hong Kong under British rule. Note during 1970’d seldom saw UK soldiers or sailors.

I believe in all of 1970 HK had 16 murders. How many in a typical US city of several million residents?

Streets clean; streets clean, street cleaners not obvious, population incredibly polite, I walked around single in the early hours, no attacks or even aggressive stares.

I compared this to cities in US and HK was well ahead.

Ship’s captain told crew that no bad behavior would be acceptable. He also stated that most crimes resulted in a caning ie whipping of 16-20 lashes and no jail time. He stated that when the miscreant got back to ship he would add further punishments. Crew behaved.
