Poverty alone does not breed crime

Letter September 25, 2018
Young men from well-off families have been arrested for committing crimes

KARACHI: Poverty is said to breed crime. But recent crime incidents in our country show that this is not always true. Lately young men from well-off families have been arrested for committing robberies, murders and for also committing murders as hired assassins. Some have been caught and some may still be indulging in their adventures and enjoying their looted wealth.

The central and provincial governments are taking strict actions against criminals. Many have been hanged and many are waiting to be hanged. The hangman is in constant requisition. The government must take more stringent actions to prevent crime.
