Factors Influencing E-Service Quality in the Police of Dubai, United Arab Emirates

The Dubai police have adopted several technological measures in the past, including the Smart Government. Despite the effort, there is an existing gap between the expected outcomes of the technology adopted as the index of some major crimes does not reduce after the adoption. This suggests that it i...
