摘要：
In this study crime victimization in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was examined through the dimensions of the experience of victims and perceived potential for being a victim of crimes in the UAE. A questionnaire was designed and data were collected from a sample of 1,520 respondents. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. It was found that the main crimes suffered by victims in the UAE are: disturbance and harassment by beggars, simple assaults, property damage, susceptibility to deception and fraud, stealing from trade centers, theft of car contents, stealing on public roads and transport services, and pickpocketing.
