Bangladeshis top crime rate: Statistics issued by the Ministry of Interior
show until today, 3,143 crimes have been committed by Arabs during this year.
2,750 of these crimes are attributed to Kuwaitis, reports Al-Watan daily.
Statistics also show Egyptians topped the list of criminals with 549 crimes,
followed by bedouns, Bangladeshis, Indians, Syrians, Saudis, Iranians,
Pakistanis, the Sri Lankans, Jordanians, Palestinians, Filipinos, Iraqis and the
Lebanese. Bedouns are accounted for 508 crimes, Bangladeshis 541, Indians 251,
Syrians 218, Saudis 210, Iranians 209, Pakistanis 157, Sri Lankans 107,
Jordanians and Palestinians 85, Filipinos 65, Iraqis 55 and the Lebanese
51.
The numbers published show that Kuwaitis top the crime rates, not Bangladeshis!
...actually the figures don't add up. Lets see - 2,750 crimes committed by Kuwaitis, 549 by Egyptians, 508 by Bedouns, 218 by Syrians, 210 by Saudis, 85 by Jordanians and Palestinians, 51 by Lebanese... that equals 4,371 Arabs already, a bit more than the 3,143 reported. Maybe the difference is between the number of crimes committed versus number of criminals, but who is any the wiser.
Of course it would be sensible when quoting statistics to compare to actual proportions of the population, and then adjust for sex and age factors, i.e. strip out the elderly, children and % of women, ...but that may show an even worse picture than what has been released for publication in the press. And then, what about all the unreported crime... there's thousands of abused maids sheltering in embassies, and unpaid labourers living in squalid dumps denied their basic human rights. Rule of thumb here suggests 99% of this crime is unreported... or maybe it just ain't viewed as a crime!
Why bother publishing anything if you can't get the basic facts right. Is this just more fodder for the masses to justify the recent decision to deport Bangladeshis and stop any more entering the country? If we're going to have a blanket ban based on nationality, can we not stop the nationality leading the crime rate stats from entering the country instead!

When you Filipinos maid starts complaining about Bangladeshis and crime you dont need statistics to know there is a problem.
Yeah, you're right there is a problem. But it's no good applying a broad brush and saying all Bangladeshis are a problem. My landlord's two houseboys are great guys and I totally trust them. We also need to look at the reasons why there is so much crime... my feeling is that living in Kuwait, for a number of reasons, provides a breeding ground for crime - the huge disparities in wealth and all its manifestations, men away from their families, not being paid by their employers/sponsors, coming to Kuwait on false promises or expectations...
Every society has crime. What studies have been done to understand and resolve the underlying problems in Kuwait society?
