Jenayah pelajar meningkat

KUALA LUMPUR: Indeks jenayah membabitkan pelajar sekolah dari Januari hingga Jun tahun ini meningkat kepada 1,034 kes berbanding 888 dalam tempoh sama tahun lalu. Jumlah itu adalah sebahagian daripada jumlah keseluruhan 113,520 kes jenayah yang turut meningkat sebanyak 7,284 kes berbanding 106,236 bagi tempoh sama, tahun lalu.

Naib Pengerusi Yayasan Pencegahan Jenayah Malaysia (MCPF), Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, berkata keadaan itu semakin membimbangkan dan perlu diperbaiki segera supaya tidak merebak.

“Daripada 1,034 kes itu, sebanyak 402 membabitkan jenayah kekerasan, manakala 632 lagi jenayah berkaitan kerosakan harta benda.

“Kes ini membabitkan pelajar berusia antara 7 hingga 18 tahun. Oleh itu, penekanan mengenai aspek pencegahan jenayah perlu diterap ke dalam jiwa masyarakat daripada usia muda,” katanya pada sidang media selepas menyempurnakan Majlis Perasmian Kelab Pencegahan Jenayah dan Pelancaran Bulan Kemerdekaan Sekolah Kebangsaan St John (1) di sini, semalam.

Beliau berkata, kelab terbabit dapat membentuk masyarakat pelajar yang mempunyai kesedaran tinggi terhadap pencegahan jenayah.

“Sekolah ini adalah sekolah rendah pertama di Kuala Lumpur yang menubuhkan kelab pencegahan jenayah yang dapat memberi kefahaman kepada pelajar mengenai pelbagai hal berhubung jenayah selain kepentingan penguatkuasaan undang-undang.

“Saya juga berharap pelajar yang menjadi ahli akan bertindak sebagai ‘mata dan telinga’ kepada pihak sekolah dan dengan segera melaporkan maklumat membabitkan jenayah yang berlaku,” katanya.

SEKOLAH Kebangsaan St John (1) became the first primary school in Kuala Lumpur to set up a Crime Prevention Club (KPJ). The club was launched by the Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) vice-chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

“There are over 1,200 KPJs established in secondary schools throughout the country,” said Lee.
Lee said the club’s objective was to educate students to obey the law and create an awareness on the crimes being committed in the country.

“According to the police crime index there have been 113,520 criminal cases from January to June this year. There is an increase of 7,284 cases compared with last year in the same period,” he said.“Cases involving students increased with 1,034 cases from January to June this year compared with last year, which was only 888.

“These students aged between seven and 18 years were involved in violence (402) and property (632) cases.

“We have to give the right emphasis for crime-related issues with activities like education, touring of police station and prison as well talks by the police,” said Lee, who also launched the school’s Merdeka & Patriotism month.

Lee said MCPF would help to monitor the clubs’ active role.
Also present at the launch was MCPF chairman Datuk William Lim.
