Crime Prevention Tips - Vandalism

How Would You Feel If Someone...
•Broke the basketball backstop at the playground where you shoot hoops?
 •Kicked your boom box and broke it?
 •Slashed the tires on your bicycle?
 •Spray painted obscenities on your house?
 •Tore up your mother's favorite rose bushes?

And then said it was just a joke.

Destroying someone else's property isn't funny. It's vandalism and it's a crime. Maybe you've heard that vandalism is just mischief and doesn't really hurt anyone. That's not true. Schools that have to spend money on broken windows have less money — or no money — to spend on sports equipment or student activities. Taxpayers (your parents) have to pay the costs of replacing damaged swings, basketball hoops, and streetlights. A homeowner has to replace the torn-out roses or knocked-down mailbox.

What You Can Do
•Don't destroy or deface someone else's property or places that everyone uses.
 •Report any acts of vandalism to the school administrator or police.
 •Get your class or club to start an anti-vandalism campaign.
 •Clean graffiti off walls in schools, libraries, or other public facilities.
 •Work with police and school officials to start a hotline to report vandalism.

careful for you over there

One of the suspects, a 32-year-old, allegedly walked into the fast-food outlet and held a female staff, 61, in a headlock while placing a knife under her throat.
The man, whose face was covered with a surgical mask, then demanded that a male staff hand over all the money that was in the safe. The other man, a 30-year-old believed to be his accomplice, waited outside the building.

The robbery attempt was thwarted after a third crew member ran out of the outlet and sought help. It was said that the startled robber threw his knife to the ground and fled empty-handed. The staff gave chase but eventually lost sight of him.

Singapore's overall crime falls, unlicensed moneylending, youth crime still rampant

SINGAPORE : Singapore's overall crime has dropped by 4.5 per cent to some 16,000 cases in the first half of this year as compared to the same period last year.

But two aspects worry the Singapore Police Force - cases of unlicensed moneylending and youth crime.

When Singapore's police gave an overview of the crime situation in 2009, three areas were of concern to them - petty theft cases; an increase in break-ins at HDB flats, education and care centres; and an increase in female minors being involved in statutory rape cases.

Between January and June this year, these areas have shown significant improvements, said the police.

But the spotlight is now on the number caught for crimes related to illegal money lending.

789 people were arrested for unlicensed money lending and harassment, up from 419 during the same period last year.

The director of the Criminal Investigations Department said efforts by the police against unlicensed money lending and harassment cases have shown some initial positive results.

And the community has a pivotal role to play in tackling these crimes, especially in the heartlands.

Alvin Yeo, GPC Chair for Law and Home Affairs said: "There have been formations of things like Neighbourhood Watch Groups because you can't have the police everywhere, 24 hours a day. So the best people to keep their eyes on these loansharks or the runners are the public themselves.

"The other aspect is public education. The public need to know that if they have financial difficulties, they should approach the right people - the credit counselling service - and not borrow from the loan sharks."

The number of unlicensed moneylending and harassment cases has decreased from 9,424 cases in the first half of 2009, to 8,654 cases in the same period this year.

The second area of concern is youth crime.

Police said there has been a one percentage point increase in the number of youths arrested out of the total number of people arrested.

And they were mainly arrested for theft and related crimes and rioting.

Yeo said: "The danger is to prevent them from getting into gangs or any sort of organised crime... The problem is quite alot of these young criminals come from broken homes. So it's going to be an all out effort. The law enforcement agencies are just one effort."

Educational institutions, law enforcement agencies, the social services sector, parents and youths themselves must all play a role in reducing youth crime.

As such, the police will continue to work with schools and educational institutions to prevent youths from turning to crime.

At the same time, the police also urge parents and family members to play their part to prevent youths from turning to crime by paying more attention to their activities and the company they keep.

They can also remind them about the severity of participating in illegal activities and intervene promptly should they display tell-tale signs of being under the influence of bad company.

Police said they will continue to carry out rigorous enforcement and work hand in hand with the community through public education and community engagement programmes to address crime concerns. - CNA/jm/ls
