The Bailiwick of Guernsey, or Guernsey for short, is a British crown dependency located in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy, France. Formerly known as the Norman Isles, the Bailiwick of Guernsey is composed of the main island, Guernsey, and a group of smaller islands. As a British crown dependency, the territory forms part of the British Isles but not part of the UK; the Bailiwick of Guernsey is essentially independent but relies on the British government for military protection and international representation. The chief of state is the King/Queen of England and the head of government is the chief minister.
The population of Guernsey was estimated to be approximately 66,500 people in 2017. Most of the islands’ inhabitants are of British or French descent. Guernsey has a small but prosperous economy. Banking, tourism and retail are important economic sectors.
Due to its location, the islands experience a temperate climate and largely overcast skies; approximately half of the days of the year are overcast. Nevertheless, these islands have fantastic scenery, sandy beaches and stunning cliffs, and with moderate temperatures year-round, outdoor activities such as kayaking, golfing, hiking and cycling can be enjoyed by all. Moreover, the islands’ military history leaves numerous old castles and forts to be discovered. The islands are accessible by air or by ferry and have been a tourist destination since the Victorian era.

Guernsey中的安全性
人身安全
根西島治安良好，犯罪率極低。島上警方認為反社會行為而非嚴重的暴力犯罪才是值得關注的問題。天黑後，您可以安心漫步街頭，這裡緊密團結的社區營造出一種居民互幫互助的氛圍。雖然扒手等輕微犯罪在人流密集的地區時有發生，但與許多其他目的地相比，此類事件相對罕見。與影響遊客的街頭犯罪相比，與外國犯罪相關的金融犯罪更受當地政府關注。警方在全島範圍內保持高度警覺，並致力於打擊針對婦女和女孩的犯罪。由於島國面積較小，緊急服務部門可以在需要時迅速回應。
極端暴力
極端暴力並非根西島生活的典型特徵。該島近期沒有恐怖主義、暴力極端主義或幫派相關活動的歷史。針對遊客和居民的暴力犯罪極為罕見。即使發生嚴重事件，通常也涉及家庭內部衝突或孤立案件，而非隨機的街頭暴力。該島的主要犯罪問題集中在與其金融服務業相關的經濟犯罪和境外犯罪，而非針對個人的暴力犯罪。執法部門的重點是預防金融犯罪、洗錢和逃稅，而不是處理嚴重攻擊或武裝犯罪。該島地理位置偏僻、人口稀少以及社區聯繫緊密，使得組織暴力犯罪較少。
政治動盪
根西島的政治抗議活動保持和平，並不頻繁。最近的示威活動集中在國內政策議題上，而不是更廣泛的政治運動。 2023 年 1 月，數千人聚集在一起抗議擬議的商品及服務稅，這是近年來較大的公眾示威活動之一。這些活動進行時沒有發生暴力或混亂。在地方當局的支持下，2020 年的「黑人的命也是命」聲援抗議活動和平舉行。環保組織偶爾會組織小規模的示威活動，但這些示威活動不會對日常生活或旅行造成乾擾。作為英國皇家屬地，該島保持政治穩定，擁有有效的民主制度。遊客不會擔心發生內亂。當抗議活動發生時，他們會與警方進行良好的協調，提前進行適當的宣傳，並將活動限制在聖彼得港市場廣場和海濱等特定區域。
應避免的區域
根西島沒有危險的街區或遊客需要避開的區域。全島所有教區和行政區犯罪率始終維持在低點。首都兼主要商業中心聖彼得港擁有與鄉村地區同等的安全環境。該島面積較小，僅25平方英里，人口約6.3萬，這意味著島上沒有城市問題區或犯罪率較高的地區。沿海步道、海灘、自然保護區和鄉村小路均可供安全探索。在人潮擁擠的旅遊景點或繁忙活動期間，您應該保持正常的謹慎，但無需特別警惕。主要風險來自自然災害，例如強潮汐、暴風雨期間的沿海洪水以及濕滑的懸崖小徑，而非犯罪或反社會行為。所有地區都日夜歡迎遊客。
