The Security academic research should focus on the current security problems. Also, it should anticipate the criminal phenomena in order to handle them before affecting the Arab societies. There should be unified Arab system for collecting the statistics and criminal information of Arab countries in a centralized database, provided that the mission of all Arab security bodies, to get access to such system with utilizing its information, should be eased. Such database should be kept in the Naif Arab University for Security Sciences. Such system should be fed according to the proposed scenario.
