Egypt is generally comparable crime-wise to most Western countries but crime rates in its cities, especially Cairo, are frequently high. These include petty crime such as pickpocketing and theft but also include motor vehicle theft, kidnapping, robbery, gang violence and assault. On a private level, white-collar crime such as smuggling, embezzlement, kickbacks, black marketeering, tax evasion and bribery are also common in the major cities.
Organized crime continues to be a problem as well as groups smuggle women for prostitution, including forced, into the country as their transit point, additionally, men, women and children are smuggled into and out of the country to work as domestic labourers and drug trafficking is frequent in the cases of cannabis, opium and heroin. Worst of all, on a political level up until recently, Corruption was frequent in the country’s politics and this in turn provoked Terrorism and religious violence, especially against tourists and religious minorities.
