Also, the difference with London or US is there is an acknowledgement that crimes are committed and robust systems in place to report and detect them. However, I have personal experience of a friend who was threatened not to press charges then told that she herself would face being charged with a criminal offense if she went ahead.

This emperors new clothes attitude of 'qatar is so safe, with a very low crime rate' is just a load of rubbish and failure to acknowledge that crime regulalry happens here, does not really help.
