Bulletin Preparation Plan
The bulletin includes statistical information on recorded crimes in a number of Arab
countries during the year 1986, which are: the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic
of Iraq, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the State of Kuwait, the Syrian Arab
Republic, the State of Qatar, the Lebanese Republic, and the Yemen Arab
Republic.
The process of extracting the statistical data contained in the special forms
for criminal statistics in the field of police and security No. (1/1) has been completed
into special tables categorized according to the following chapters:
A - Chapter One: Details of recorded crimes for each Arab country separately:
Chapter One can be considered as a process of re-listing the data sent
from Arab countries according to their actual state, with the exception of the process of refining some
data, i.e., removing information that was included in the form of a single country
such as data on detainees. Also, correcting some errors that ⟦...⟧ in
the forms of some Arab countries, especially in the field of crimes committed against
property. Where the process of correcting ⟦...⟧ for the data was carried out by presenting it
in its correct form. (See page 38).
Presenting the data as it is for each Arab country enables the researcher and the observer
to understand the criminal and security reality in each country, and without it,
that process would be difficult to achieve.
B - Chapter Two: Comparison of crimes by Arab countries and type of crime:
This chapter contains comparisons at the level of crime type such as premeditated murder
or intent, thefts, or assault ⟦...⟧ etc., and for all types of crimes
a comparison of all Arab countries participating in this bulletin.

The series begins from the year 1980, as that is the date of commencement
with the new form. We aimed thereby to alleviate the burden on
researchers and observers in the field of crime to identify its course
and development during this period.
A number of graphs have been added to the bulletin for further clarification.
4 - An analysis was conducted for the distribution of crimes according to what affects every 100 thousand
of the population.
5 - The following symbols were used:
(..) means the value = zero. It was considered equal to zero when written
as such by the source or when the number of crimes is mentioned for the classification
main and its sub-classifications and no numbers are mentioned in front of some classifications
which means that its value is zero.
( - ) means not mentioning the number of crimes or units, or their anonymity, or non-
knowledge of them. They are listed as such when the source writes them as such or when mentioned
the total of the main classification and the size of the sub-classifications is not mentioned.
( * ) means details are merged into one total.
We hope that we have succeeded in the preparation and presentation, and from God we derive help
and success.
