Test number one: The T- independent test was used to test the null hypothesis that crime perceptions between Oman and UK are equal against the alternative hypothesis that there is a difference.
Each participant that took part in answering any of the survey three domains is represented within the below data. Not all participants took part in answering all the questions in the survey.

Summary of statistics of all three domains
The results for the T independent test reject the null hypothesis that crime perceptions and attitudes towards crime shame will be the same in both countries. The results indicate that United Kingdom ( country) and females ( gender) have a higher perception towards crime than Oman.
Quantitative Analysis
The two-way ANOVA is used to determine whether there is an interaction

Mean and Standard deviation score for domain one crime assessment in regards to the independent variables gender and coutry
There was no statistically significant interaction effect between gender and country of residence on “crime assessment” score, F (1, 198) = 0.902, p= 0.343, partial η2 = 0.005.

Mean and Standard deviation score for domain two crime punishment in regards to the independent variables gender and country
There was no statistically significant interaction effect between gender and country of residence on “crime punishment” score, F (1, 196) = 0.163, p= 0.687, partial η2 = 0.001. The simple main effect for gender was not significant, F (1, 196) = 0.0001, p= 0.998, partial η2 =0.0001. The simple main effect for country of residence was also not significant, F (1, 196) = 2.175, p= 0.142, partial η2 =0. 011.
