Gallup's Law and Order Index is computed based on four questions:
• In the city or area where you live, do you have confidence in the local police force?
• Do you feel safe walking alone at night in the city or area where you live?
• Within the last 12 months, have you had money or property stolen from you or another household member?
• Within the past 12 months, have you been assaulted or mugged?
The 2021 Global Law and Order report is based on interviews with more than 120,000 adults in 115 countries and areas in 2020.
Several other reports have ranked the UAE highly when it comes to safety.
