Worrying trend of youths into crime: CP
May 15, 2011 Putatan: Youths accounted for most of the crimes or 74.35 per cent of those reported in the State in the first four months this year.
Sabah Commissioner of Police Datuk Hamza Taib said this involved 14 types under violent and property crimes.
"From January to April, 620 youths were arrested and of this 369 were aged between 19 and 30 with the rest being juvenile offenders below 18," Hamza said after closing a leadership course on the crime awareness team here, Saturday.
The Youth and Sport (Federal) Department for Sabah organised the four-day course participated by 89 youths to help them understand their roles and responsibilities and to help enforcement authorities eliminate and prevent especially street crimes.
"Through such programmes, youths could also be instilled with fear not to commit crimes and against getting involved in unhealthy activities related to crimes," Hamza said.
He said such programme is also part of the initiatives under the National Key Results Area and a medium to empower youths through awareness and education activities and to become the eyes and ears for the police.
Meanwhile Youth and Sports (Federal) Department Sabah director, Mohd Dahali bin Matsin said the programme is a continuous effort to enhance youths' awareness not to be involved in crime.
He said the 89 participants would continue carrying out 125 activities related to the crime awareness in the 25 parliamentary areas in Sabah to attract other youths to join them and meet the objectives.
"Crime Awareness Team is a squad that has 15 members and four teams would be set up in each parliamentary area. It will be joined by students and youths aged between 15 and 25.
"In Sabah, 100 teams have been formed involving 1,500 members of the crime awareness team who will be guided to stay away from crime and work together with enforcement authorities in terms of crime prevention.
"Indirectly, this team will also help their respective communities and all their activities will be monitored by the police," Dahali said.
Its disappointing to know that so many of the youths in Sabah are involved in crimes.
BalasPadamusaha untuk membanteras jenayah terutamanya yang melibatkan remaja harus sentiasa dilakukan.
BalasPadamselain itu, ibu bapa dan anggota masyarakat juga harus memainkan peranan bagi mengelakkan golongan muda terjebak dalam kegiatan yang negatif.
BalasPadameverybody should cooperate on the crime issue
BalasPadamApa sebenarnya punca kepada ramainya remaja yang terlibat dengan jenayah. Saya percaya hal ini dapat diselesaikan jika kita tahu punca kepada masalah ini.
BalasPadamKesedaran untuk menjadi seorang yang berguna harus terpupuk sejak dari bangku sekolah dan juga dari rumah.
BalasPadammakin ramai remaja yang terlibat dalam jenayah. hal ini makin membimbangkan. semua pihak perlu beri kerjasama dalam membendung jenayah di kalangan remaja.
BalasPadamdalam mengatasi masalah jenayah ini, ibu bapa mestilah memainkan peranan dan tanggungjawab dalam mengatasi masalah keruntuhan akhlak di kalangan remaja/belia. Dengan kata lain, walau apapun langkah yang diambil oleh mana-mana pihak, tanpa kerjasama daripada ibu bapa, nescaya gejala ini sukar diatasi.
BalasPadamdiharap program yang telah dijalankan oleh Jabatan Belia dan Sukan Sabah dapat memberi kefahaman kepada golongan belia tentang peranan dan tanggungjawab mereka. program-program yang seumpama ini wajar dijalankan di seluruh negeri bagi meningkatkan lagi kesedaran golongan belia keseluruhannya.
BalasPadamits very disappointing to know that many of sabah youths involve in crime...however, are they local or foreigner?
BalasPadamharus dikaji punca yang menyebabkan keadaan ini berlaku..
BalasPadamdiharap program yang dijalankan oleh jabatan belia dan sukan akan dapat memberi kesedaran kepada para belia..
BalasPadamkerjasama semua pihak adalah perlu untuk membanteras jenayah.
BalasPadamOMG punya ramai. Kenapakah boleh jadi mcm ni?
BalasPadamKaji punca sebenar isu ini berlaku dan tidakan sepatutnya harus diambil.
BalasPadamSemoga program yang dianjurkan dapat dimanfaatkan sebaik mungkin oleh golongan remaja ini.
BalasPadamRasanya ibu bapa patut mainkan peranan penting dalam perkara ini.
BalasPadamSungguh menyedihkan dengar golongan muda yang terlibat dengan jenayah. Entah apa jadi dengan masa depan mereka jika mereka enggan berubah.
BalasPadamEmbarassing!
BalasPadamHope the youths know what should they do..No for crime..
BalasPadamApa yang terjadi dengan para belia kita ini? Kadar jenayah dari belia agak memeranjatkan. Harap kerajaan perlu menubuhkan satu persatuan untuk belia bagi menangani masalah ini.
BalasPadamPerbanyakkan lagi anjuran untuk kesedaran kepada para belia muda ini. Semoga berjaya.
BalasPadamgolongan belia dan remaja adlah generasi hadapan kita. mereka harus dididik untuk menjadi insan yang berguna.
BalasPadamthis problem will be difficult to solve without cooperation among public especially among parents of the youths..
BalasPadamYouths are supposed to assist and not contributing to the number of crimes in Sabah.
BalasPadamSememangnya remaja adalah tunjang negara dan bukan untuk dijadikan hamba jenayah.
BalasPadamAmat menyedihkan.
BalasPadamLame and pathetic.
