this is data from 2002 we are almost into 2010......and this is a list of intentional homicide so does not reflect on total crimes committed.....still qatar it can be said is a satisfactorily safe place.

Pay special intention to this "Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence."......though it does show that crimes were committed the plus point is that people still possess enough faith in the law and judiciary to provide justice to them.
