For UAE news, I regularly check Gulfnews.com. But, surprisingly, I notice their “Nation” section on the homepage is loaded with crime-related stories most of the days. I have a high regard for the kind of journalism they practise in this part of the world. But why highlight crime? I guess, like everyone else they believe that crime sells!
