PHNOM PENH, March 5 (Xinhua) -- Crime occurrence dropped by 20 percent in 2008 over 2007, down to 8 an average day from 10, English-Khmer language newspaper the Cambodia Daily reported Thursday, quoting official figures.
There were altogether 2,881 crimes committed in Cambodia in 2008, compared with 3,732 in 2007, according to Interior Ministry spokesman Khieu Sopheak.
Meanwhile, on average, less than one crime per day took place in the capital city in 2008, according to the national crime figures issued on Wednesday at the annual conference of the Interior Ministry.
There were only 351 criminal offenses recorded by police in 2008 in Phnom Penh, down from 357 in 2007, said the City Hall.
Considering the kingdom has a population of almost 14 million, it appears to be virtually crime-free, compared with countries with similar or smaller populations, according to the ministry.

Excellence, while the crime in Cambodia going down, the crime in the slum (Long Beach, CA) is skyrocketing.
Thanks to all for the sacrifice and hard works, days and night, for Khmer people.
Land grabbing is NOT A CRIME the eviction of PEOPLE from THEIR HOUSE is a crime it NOT DIFFERENT to Moving evicting people from the City. But Dont forget we have a Khmer Rough and Viet cockhead a prime minister. Ah ChongRai Kwark Hun Sen is only following Pol Pot foots steps. So the CRIME OF EVICTING PEOPLE FROM THEIR HOUSE make Ah Hun Sen Pol Pot No.2 Watch out!!!!!
Crimes down or up depends on what people want to make accurate reports or to report sparingly or not to report of all.
To make things look good all you need to do is to manipulate the stastitic. In financial sector, you cook the book. In family matter, we don't have any problem. In the village, we are happy.
You're right, but Khmer doesn't do that sort of stuff. We stay with basic fact. We don't manipulated anything like they do in the west.
YEP!!! that's right. Khmers don't do these stuff. Because Khmers are the one big happy family in the village of Cambodia. Good luck man. Fish will smell after three days.
