Pakistan is not coming out of crises. People are sick of dealing with newer problems every day. It not only shows the failure of the state and its departements, political leadership and judiciary but it is also the failure of every citizen of Pakistan as a country and nation. For the past few years a great rise in the street crimes has been observed snatches and thefts at gunpoint’s of cars ,motorcycles ,purses, and other belongings. Overall the year 2013 has shown a great rise in street crimes especially in Karachi the city of lights. Crime is an act against the law. All acts of disobeying the law are crimes. All crimes are wrong committed against the society; some do more damage to society then others. The street crimes is the most harmful of crimes it is responsible for disintegration of society as we know it. Street crime is collection of illegal practices that are committed in the streets or public places. The crimes include pickpocketing, selling drugs,assaults,destroying public property and prostitution.
Every day, on an average nearly 100 cases all of street crimes are reported and many cases aren’t reported due to fear and involvement of police in crimes. The lack of responsibility and trust from and towards police is the sole reason behind this. When a police officer or an area SHO allows car dealers to park in double and triple rows on a main street like jail road or DHA Main Boulevard or allows street vendors in middle of the road for bribe this is also a crime. Street crime is a product of absence of law and order. Police should be questioned by media by showing such acts on TV .Presence of police is the only detergent of crime. Look around people you will see SHO driving a expensive car or will be having a direct connection of electricity without a meter this all adds up and leads to crime.
Street Crime is basically a result of lack of education, unemployment; people are frustrated from poor policies so they want something new and are worried about their future. The government needs to solve the unemployment problem, expand economic programs this helps the people especially the criminals to change their lives. Street crime is a social issue it can get more worse so it is the time to take steps to remove it from our society.
