The world apparently seems simple to comprehend, but in reality, it is actually incredibly convoluted and perplexing. Although, Pakistan has made significant legal advancements, the law of the jungle still dominates society.
Another law that is widely accepted in this country is known as “might is right” Although there aren’t many nations in the world where rule of law is present, it is true that it is practically nonexistent in this one.
Earlier, World of Statistics has shared the ranking of the world’s “most criminal and safest countries”. On the list, Venezuela has been ranked top, followed by Papua New Guinea (2), Afghanistan (3), South Africa (4), Honduras (5), Trinidad (6), Guyana (7), Syria (8), Somalia (9) and Jamaica (10), respectively, while Qatar has the least crimes.
Pakistan is 85th in the list while India is 81st. Kazakhstan 72, Indonesia 75, Bangladesh 20, while Iran was ranked 56th most dangerous country. Saudi Arabia is 133rd, UAE is 143rd, while Qatar is 144th in the list.
What is a crime? A crime is an act against the laws of a country. For instance, in Pakistan, a person who attempts suicide and fails will face punishment; but, in other parts of the world, such a person may not necessarily face punishment.
Every country has a different set of regulations regarding suicide. Additionally, there are penalties regarding it if someone assists another person in killing themselves.
The use of marijuana as a sedative is illegal in many countries like Pakistan and some US states, although it is entirely permitted in some, like Uruguay and the Netherlands.
Similarly, prostitution is illegal in some countries around the world and is permitted in others. For instance, prostitution is regarded as a legitimate occupation in Germany, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. It is illegal in several Middle Eastern and Asian countries.
It is prohibited to engage in illicit sexual intercourse, especially with members of the same sex, in many Islamic countries. For instance, it is regarded a crime and is penalized in many African countries as well as Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia; nevertheless, it is not considered a crime in many countries, including Canada, America, and many European nations.
It is essential to analyze what constitutes as a crime in each region whenever some organization ranks countries by crime rate, because there are examples when an act is considered a serious crime in one country but it is perfectly legal in other parts of the world. For example, insulting the Holy Qur’an and the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) is a serious crime in the Muslim World, yet in the West, people do it in the name of freedom of speech.
