Why do you think some of these middle East countries like Quatar, Kuwait, UAE etc have very less crime statistics?

And it's not coz they go underreported. Even stealing is excessively low. HDI is very very high. I think it's coz of their laws, severe punishment.

They are rich. Also the big/tribal family structure causes them to be very morally responsible because they care a lot about their image/reputation as a whole.

@Moon3624 Especially the three countries mentioned (Qatar, UAE, Kuwait) as compared to KSA, Oman and Bahrain.

@SW-User Im not sure about crime rate , but good economy and government? Ksa is definitely included then

@Moon3624 KSA has half the per capita income of UAE and Kuwait, I think.

@Moon3624 Economy on the larger scale (GDP), sure, but when it comes to individuals in KSA, there is a clear disparity in social classes in terms of the standard of living as compared to the three countries.

@SW-User Which country has a disparity in social classes?

SW-User

@uncleshawn KSA in comparison to the three aforementioned countries.

@SW-User Yah, you're right. Huuuuuge money at the very tip top (way more than the other countries) , and then a wide variety of people from rich to middle to poor to beggars.
