Arab countries score low on crime, highest on safety in world survey

[Timur]

Nope I was talking about the Arab world in general 500 million Muslims driven mostly by Islamic principles..
You can read the WHO reports or the UN ones, they all say the same, even when using different parameters..I did study this in criminology courses, and was also surprised but then I was convinced with real Data..
it goes like this in general in a qualitative manner:
First, Most Muslim Arabs(the majority) believe that God is watching our moves; " Inna Allh Yarana" or "God is seeing us.."
Second, police and their agents are almost every where and are very visible, so you commit a crime today, you have maximum one week before you are caught..
Third, and not the least, sentences in court are very severe..
So, here you already have 3 different deterrents against crime..

For statistics you can turn to world bodies statistics.. you will also be surprised, because they use different variables and they get very close results as far as Arab countries are concerned.. you can find most statistics on the net..?( and we are not talking about terrorism acts here, that is another field of study and statistics..

thats not my worry.. you simply cant say the arab world is just the gc states..

but there is another logic if you have wealth than you will not steal the way a poor man steals.. you do for excample white collar crimes or other corruption.. why do you want to steal a mobile phone if you have the money for it and you are not mentally ill..? of course it could happen that you fall low and you could steal something if you have the opportunity for it but normally you wont (if you can effort to buy it)..

If fearing god had any correlation with crime rates Switzerland, Japan, Singapore would be the most religious. We don't live in the 7th or 14th century.

But unlike religion, it has everything to do with wealth. Funnily expats make up 90% of UAE population and 88% of Qatar's, "very" Arab.

Anyway the myth got debunked by stats from the very sites these bafoons used lol these idiots use religion when it suits but reality is they ain't nothing but shit pretenders who score pride points for being above Nigeria lol.

Crimes come in different categories; Murder, Theft, rape, white collar crimes, internet crimes, Frauds, Drugs dealing, weapons dealing...etc.. and all of them come in different levels, from severe (state espionage, murder and others, to medium as white colour crimes, internet crimes, Fraud, Drugs import and distribution, Human trafficking, organ trafficking, organised crime and so on), to small theft, death threats, violence on the streets, drugs sell on the streets...etc, and even here we have different categories in each section that goes also with severity of the crime.. like rape for example.. it goes from attempted rape, to kidnapping and rape, to street attack rape, to house trespassing and rape, to armed rape or rape under menace of a weapon..
So, most world statistics would take all of these crimes into account.. and for another example, both white collar and internet crimes are almost non-existent in the Arab world, organized crime is very rare, murder rates are some of the lowest in the world, hard drugs are almost a no go, weapons dealing is also inexistent.. and many more crime categories that do not spread to the Arab world due to culture, religion and other factors like the ones I have pointed to in the other post..

So as one can see, not all of these crimes are related to poverty or inequality, most of them have to do with greed, lifestyle, culture and much more..
Some first world nations have a low poverty, and inequality rates, but these low percentage category commits most of the crimes repeatedly and often, so the crime rate is high.. while some third world countries have high rates of poverty and as much inequalities, but we see a low crime rate.. it all depends on the culture and other important factors.. you might find some of the worst inequalities in the world in some (although rare) Muslim and some third world countries, but when compared to the same rates in South America as a best example, the latter scores the highest crime rates in the world!!!

a Lot of you seems to forget the exception among exception... Tunisia...
Ranked higher than most Western European countries... and we are not richer than the others and we have more unemployement than them combined...

So let's put together? shall we? Crimes has nothing to do with religion/neither emplyement rate or being rich... it's cultural... Period.

and check your top List... you'll see that most of those countries are "NOrmal" or Under average... ANd last thing... try to not take everything as true when it comes to "Locked/dictatorship countries" since their crime rates are not entirely true...

 

[Gomig-21]

^^ Of course higher population usually means more poverty, more migrants and 2nd, 3rd generatation citizens usually means more crimes i.e Sweden & Europe. Plus there is a lot of crime that goes unreported, more so in the developing world we're there are more cultural stigmas attached to going social with certain crimes i.e rape

I posted the links (from the very same sources they used) to debunk the myth these guys have that low crime rates compared to Nigeria lol have to do with "beautiful rosey Arab culture" lol. Morroco, Egypt, Syria etc are fest feasts for crime.

And my point is that these rankings are deceiving because of the disparity in the judging criteria. If they were based on per capita, and per region, and per crime, I bet you those stats would tweak out a lot differently.

A perfect example is the US. The US is one of the safest countries in the world yet it's ranked 44th while Egypt is 24th with a 5% difference, does that make sense? I think it's skewed both ways, not just in favor but against.

Again attacking Arabs, I am not offended but why do you hate them so much? It's clear, you can easily be triggered all it takes is raising Arabs and you'll be angry.

 

[KediKesenFare3]

Yes, the Arabs have the lowest crime rate in the world..some people are not happy about that and create wars in the Arab world..The so called civilized world have some of the highest crime rates in the world and this rate goes usually hand in hand with poverty and social inequalities!!!

Not true. Oil-rich Arab countries are relatively safe but that's it. All other Arab states aren't safe as GCC member states.

Have you visited all the Arab countries, or you want to contradict and contest world reports about crime.. most of the Arab countries do not allow fire arms sales to the public, and here you have the GCC who allows that, and you say they are the safest, so now you can use your logic and imagination to find out that the low crime rates are generalised throughout the Arab world, which confirms all world reports..

Yeah, yeah. Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Libya, Palestine, Somalia, Sudan etc. are known internationally for very high internal security. And spare me with your "Arab stronk, Torks week" counterargument. I am well aware of the fact that the last year was anything but good for Turkey regarding domestic security. That does not change the fact that your generalization is simply a flat out lie.

Typical Arab, play victim soon as facts are presented. You frequent the Turkish forum and troll there, sometimes you talk sense and I agree however when it comes to Arab "matters" again you are emotional.

I posted evidence from the very same site the article and op posted from. Outside of Qatar and UAE which I have complemented, Arab countries are no exception to the rest of the world.

Where there is high employment and good living condition crime tends to be less frequent.

Having moral values such as it being wrong to steal, kill, rape etc is universal and not unique to religious people or Arabs as the posters here would like to portray.

Take a look at Europe, see who the highest crime rates are among, what ethnicity and socio economic class they belong to, your notion will be destroyed.

Your first words contain an attack towards my Arab identity, you just again confirmed what I said. If someone did this in the Turkish section you'd call for the admin to ban that person, but see that no one cares. Now you should work on it.

You troll freely on the Turkish section, Arabs are some of the most racist members on this forum with all the DNA talk, go cry the river Tigris or Nile somewhere else.

Well facts are facts, from the sources the op themselves posted, you work on that

Not true. I don't insult, don't attack Turks for their identity. Show me where I troll.

There's only one Arab member here that speaks of DNA. I didn't see any other Arab member write about DNA. So one Arab member here might've attacked you now you know millions of them?

Let me tell you that upon my arrival to Taksim square a Turkish taxi driver told me 'siktir git' which I understood, do you think I hate Turks now? He was shown his place by the 'Arab monkey' although I do not view this as Turk vs Arab, i'm not an anti-Turk whilst you're clearly anti-Arab.

All of the Arab countries have much much lower crime rates than Turkey for example.. so spare us your Turkish Stronk rhetoric and lies.. but mainly hatred and stupidity.. you insult your own intelligence by contradicting world reports and statistics and by trying to prove your point by bringing in Arab countries with civil war.. you should know that World organisations do not count war for crime rates.. crime is counted statistically in a supposedly peaceful environ.. , So how low can you get to bring in terrorism as I've told you specifically in my previous posts that it is not included in the subject at hand..That only shows your inferiority complex in regards to the Arabs.. the statistics between Turkey for example _since you are a Turk and all of the Arab world are not even comparable.. When Turkey scores 4000 crimes per year, Arab countries do not score more than 200/year each.. so just swallow your tongue and go play knowledgeable with some kids of your kind somewhere else..

 

[KediKesenFare3]

You're so right. I mean, ask anybody on the street and you'll be proven right. People usually chose Yemen & Syria over Turkey when it comes to quality of life. That's so obvious. How dare I question your judgment. Silly me. Hail to the Arabian race.
