Crime control and our society
(Muhammad Shoaib, Karachi)
Social institutions are mainly
responsible for it and especially family institution is losing its hold.
In our society, mainly economic reasons lead one to crimes. Economic institution
isn't fulfilling requirements of the individuals. Unemployment leads to
frustration and depression, that's why, individuals seek negative ways to
overcome financial crisis.
Family institution isn't training the individuals in proper way. Elite/Upper
class hasn't enough time to check activities of their kids so they get involved
in crimes for thrill and adventure. Besides, weak bond of affection makes them
frustrated so they take interest in such activities to satisfy their
psychological deprivation.
Educational institution is also not playing its effective role. Quality of
education is neglected so individuals' moral values are weak.
In short, law enforcement agencies alone can't eradicate crimes. It is always
better to nip the evil in the bud and it's impossible without co-operation of
other social institutions.
