Qatar has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, according to figures released by the general secretariat of the state cabinet.

Murder rate in Qatar is barely 0.5 per 100,000 people, compared to a world average of four, the figures published in the local media reveal.

The rate of burglaries is 25 per 100,000 inhabitants, while the world average is 100 per 100,000 people.

The rates of other crimes like kidnapping, assaults and arson are also low, with a collective rate of five per 100,000 people while the world average is eight per 100,000 inhabitants, The Peninsula daily said.

Qatar has recently set up Al Faza to maintain vigil on roads and residential areas on a 24-hour basis, provides instant help and prevents crimes. The force has 142 patrol cars to carry out its duty, the paper said.

A total of 8,527 people were rounded up in 2008 for violating residence permit (RP) rules and 6,610 were deported.

The authorities said they identified 5,269 companies for failing to stamp or renew work visas for their employees in 2008.

Under the Qatari law, employers are fined for visa-related violations.

Thats why its so funny when an outraged person reports how his wife was robbed at Lulu (or similar), her purse was stolen from her bag (except it turns out she left it at home, or what about "The maid took my wife's gold earrings" posts. Then it turns out they keep her locked in the house and pay her 300QR a month have taken her passport and also have no proof.

It is great that we can feel so safe here, particularly nice in Dukhan that kids go out and play and have the freedom.

Yep Qatar's a pretty safe part of the world. But, I don't really trust the figures obtained from the local newspapers.

I guess most of the deaths here must be construction (health & safety related) or Traffic related?
