The sentences for rape cases are also extremely unbalanced in Saudi Arabia. For example, in February 2013, a Saudi preacher raped, tortured, and murdered his five-year-old daughter.

In 1988, the reported murder rate in Saudi Arabia was .011 per 100,000 population, sexual offenses were .059 per 100,000 population, and thefts were .005 per 100,000. [28] The UN office of drugs and crime reported that there were 0.83 victims of intentional homicide per 100,000 population in 2019.
