30 Murders In 14 Months Open Society's Wounds
Repeated violent acts have opened society's wounds, including the murder of a mother by her two daughters in a Doha suburb the day before yesterday, which was preceded by the murder of a family of three by an Indian in Ardhiya. These two crimes will not be the last until the relevant authorities address the underlying causes.
The data suggest an alarming spike in aggressive behavior, including self-immolation, in a manner that raises warning bells, according to a local Arabic daily.
According to the daily, 30 premeditated murders were perpetrated in Kuwait over the last 14 months, i.e. over the year 2021 and January and February 2022.
Despite the large number in comparison to the population, security measures resulted in the arrest of the vast majority of the offenders of these crimes, who were thereafter brought to justice and given their deserved punishment. However, the rise in the incidence of these horrible crimes begs several issues, the most pressing of which is: Why did the murders rise? What are the motivations and reasons? Where is the proactive security to stop crime before it happens?
According to an informed security source, felonies involving self-assault have increased significantly in recent years, with approximately 3,800 different types of felonies involving various types of weapons being recorded in the past year, whether due to disputes, theft, honor or revenge, drug issues, or other reasons.
According to the source, misdemeanors climbed considerably in 2021, reaching 21,000, owing to the ease with which they may be obtained from the market without monitoring.
The Corona pandemic is one of the reasons for the rise in violent crimes, according to psychologists and sociologists, but it is not the only factor. Other factors include the widespread use of social media and modern technology in all of its violent manifestations around the world, as well as the extent to which parents monitor their children and educate them about the dangers of violent electronic games and their effects.
They went on to say that educational patterns and the moral system are critical and that educational curricula, societal culture, and awareness levels are all concerns that must be addressed by the entire community.
They went on to say that the Interior Ministry alone will not be able to deal with the rising number of crimes and violence in society because battling the criminal would not work; instead, combating crime and addressing its core causes will. 'Can any country put a policeman on every corner, near every house, school, or workplace?' they wondered.
In addition, jurists noted that the introduction of a female element into the murder line is unusual and necessitates a significant stop, indicating that dozens of girls are accused of self-aggression crimes. Lawyers confirmed that drug addiction played a role in the spread of crime, stating that certain young people's carelessness, a lack of legal deterrence, and nepotism have resulted in bloodshed for the most insignificant of causes.
