I am visiting in Singapore right now. Facinating city to say the very least. It is not absolutely crime free but comes mighty close for a city/country of 5.4 million.

No private ownership of guns is allowed. If someone does use a gun in a crime, it is life in prison. If the gun was fired during the crime, it is a death sentence. Drug selling is a death sentence. Caning plus prison time for most crime. Fines are imposed for minor things like spitting, smoking in a no smoking area, littering, and eating the stinky durian fruit in public.

It is an amazingly clean country/city and extremely prosperous.

Some human rights groups think it goes way too far - I don't know.
