KARACHI: Our society is witnessing an increasing rate of crime. Incidents as horrific as Zainab rape and murder case and the killing of 10-year-old Amal in Karachi have become a common occurrence. Crimes in general and particularly against women and children have increased. Every day there are reports of murder, rape, molestation, kidnapping of children, robberies and mugging in the print and electronic media. This downslide must be reversed before it is too late. The police need to be educated to perform their duties responsibly.
