Crime rates in Pakistan lower than 'average' global crime rates.

See Black Eagle? Everyone knows it, pretending it aint so won't float here (Haven't got to go to SA, but been in the region...and know many who have)

And @ RFS_Br, you are right...and most of the "working class" are imported...not SA Nationals. Why do you think there are so many threads about Indians and Pakistanis working there?

Those countries are far more equal than Latin America. I don't know about Qatar and the UAE, but I've heard that Saudi Arabia uses its oil wealth to cover for the needs of a significant part of the population. The poor there are most certainly not as marginalized as in Latin America.

The Gini Index measures inequality; you can see the results for many countries on this list. You can see that Latin America (and also sub-Saharan Africa, for that matter) is about the worst region when it comes to income disparities between the rich and the poor. And that, IMO, is why, as you can see in that graph, that is the region most plagued by crime.

There are three classes in KSA like any other country, but the poor class one is less and they poor by Saudi standards. However, middle class is the largest one. According to Juice, people in Norway and Sweden (which have high crime rates) must be either poor or rich or have marginalized people which is not true

And who produced this chart that shows Scandinavia as having high crime?

I see I am not the only one that still has issues with double-posting. Are we gonna fix that soon?

Whatever people say about Saudi Arabia's laws, one thing is clear, if Sharia'ah law is properly applied, it really works in keeping the crime rate low.

Well, I've heard that Sharia'ah has severe punishments for crimes, so I'm not surprised by that really.

We already know about high crime rate in the West. We used to get shocked when we hear stories about gangs in USA carrying machine guns fighting in the streets or robbing homes/shops. My uncle married a Russian woman, and when she got here, she was surprised that we keep our doors open/unlocked all night, and our kids playing outside at night as well. This is not news to us.

I don't think terror attacks or activities are included,otherwise Pakistan would have broken the roof!

Machine gun fighting in the street? Maybe if we called them "Palestinians", eh? Didn't Jordan have several actions against PLO etc? When is the last time we had to call the Army to handle our "Gangs"?

 

[notsuperstitious]

I think India would be on top, seeing the amount of rape, child burying, etc that goes on in that country

Unfortunately for you, what you think only reflects on what YOU are, and not on the real world. Too bad for you, a better upbringing and who knows what could have been...

I just cannot simply believe that.

Only if there is a new hosting service.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Its low because 1000% , is never reported and also police is in on most crimes in Pakistan

Number of violent deaths is actually very high in Pakistan. Some areas experiance even more bombings than Afghanistan.
