The UAE acquired the top position due to its record in the competitiveness indices and its adherence to the factors of order and security. In terms of which crime is effectively controlled, civil conflict is effectively limited, and violence is not used as a means to redress personal grievances, the UAE received a 0.91; in government corruption, 0.82; and in effective criminal justice, 0.77. The Index evaluates the criminal justice system’s effectiveness in reducing criminal behavior alongside law enforcement, regulating government authority, open government, civil justice, and fundamental rights.
