In order to encouraging a strong, secure family base, the Qatari government also endeavors to provide citizens with a secure, stable public institutional base that encourages and protects public safety and security and demonstrates the principles of justice and equality, as outlined in the Constitution.
Crime rates in Qatar reside well below global averages. In fact, Qatar is one of world’s top ranking countries in terms of safety despite the vast amount of expatriates that move to the state. In 2010 Qatar ranked #1 within the Arab region, and 15th out of the 149 countries gauged on the Global Peace Index (GPI) of the Institute for Economic and Peace. The GPI takes into consideration 24 different indicators, many of which are related to public safety and security, as well as factors prevalent to the country’s external relations.
