Is it True to Say There is NO Crime in Dubai?

Question

if so why not? Is it because everyone is wealthy, respectful of each other, or is the law super harsh? Can someone tell me why

Answer 1

Dear Friend,

Who told you that there is no crime in Dubai?

Wherever human being alive, there will be crimes. Especially Dubai is not only filled with Nationals, but with 80 percentage of expats from Asia, Other Arab Countries, Europe, US etc. So obviously there will be crime, but comparing other countries UAE have a less crime only.

You are right, the Laws here in UAE are stricter than that of US.

That's why the crime also less here.

Wealth is not only the factor of crimes.

You can see the crimes happening here are mostly related to other nationalities, recently a Labanese Singer murdered and the suspected is Egyptian (this is an example of crimes happening here related to other nationals.)

Best of Luck

Thx

Is there a place in the Whole WORLD that doesn't have Crime?

Humans are not civilized to that degree yet you know...

Answer 3

Well, Dubai is a relatively safe place to live as per the opinion of many Westerners I have met. I think there are several reasons for this:

1. Strict laws and harsh punishments (4 years for puffing on a marijuana joint).

2. Even though Dubai is super expensive, you don't find much crime as most people in Dubai are expats who are already employed and generally have good incomes.

3. Once an employee is unemployed they are given a short period after which they have to leave the country. No room to go poor and commit crime.

4. Most locals are well taken care of by their government and again have no reason to resort to crimes.

5. The local society is built on Islamic values which already forbids all kinds of criminal activities, such as lying , stealing, cheating, hurting, killing among others. Most people have an inner tendency to avoid these acts even without the law present due to their good upbringing.

Having said that, every society have its black sheep, people with psychological problems that were caused by bad parenting when they were children or living in a dysfunctional family where social and religious values are not properly taught.

Crimes will always happen, it's up to society to prevent them, police to apprehend the culprits and the law to punish them.
