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.

three reasons

1) Don't get reported
2) Severe Penalties
3) Many flee the country rather than face the penalty

Do get reported. You mean death penalty for murder? Still exists even in usa. And I don’t see people fleeing United Arab Emirates they have better lives than most Europeans.

there is no forgiveness for debt, no declaring bankruptcy... you default on a loan or can't pay taxes, you go to prison...

so many leave instead

@wildbill83 Thousands of debtors are arrested and jailed each year in America because they owe money. Literally that happens in every country😂 And actually a lot of people here do forgive for debts and people in society even help and the government itself chips in. Not only United Arab Emirates
But even Saudi Arabia
I’ll give one example ,
Saudi Arabia launched another platform for charity
Called “ehsan”
One of the charity options is to donate to the people in debt
And they give you the situation of every person so you can donate
This is what the site looks like :


This platform helped a lot of people , in Ramadan a man with kids went to jail with the debt of 5 million The Saudi community all chipped in
And within 2 days they managed to gather the 5 million and he was released to his family.

Not only that but even in the religion of Islam it’s encouraged to forgive and help with debt
Quoting from the Quran :
{Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and Allah loves the doers of good;} 3:134
{o forgive graciously.}18:85
{so whoever forgives and makes amends, so his reward is upon Allah; }

Im not saying gulf countries are perfect. No country in this world is perfect every country has pros and cons.
But definitely gulf countries have been advancing and have so much beauty in them
I don’t get why you just can’t accept that “some” of them especially United Arab Emirates are very safe and have low crime.
That’s proven when it comes to statics

@wildbill83 + countries like United Arab Emirates and Saudi have free health care + free education including university. Not only that but University Students in Saudi (I believe uae too) receive monthly allowance from the government while usa students are drowned in student debt after college/uni.
And if you look at the data on google actually usa has most debtors
