Youth are involved in committing 30 percent of all crimes
The Republican Council of makhallas, ministries of health, higher and secondary special education, public education, the Youth Union and the Women’s Committee should consider each case of encroachment on the own life as an emergency situation and develop psychological assistance programs aimed at anticipating the occurrence of suicidal behavior in education institutions.
At the meeting that was held on July 27 under the chairmanship of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, a problem associated with the increased incidence of suicide was discussed. It was noted that the Republican Council of makhallas, ministries of health, higher and secondary special education, public education, the Youth Union and the Women’s Committee should consider each case of encroachment on the own life as an emergency situation and develop psychological assistance programs aimed at anticipating the occurrence of suicidal behavior in education institutions. The Committee on Religious Affairs and the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan should widely, using effective methods, explain the attitude of our sacred religion to suicide.
The main part of the registered crimes for 6 months of this year was theft, fraud, robbery and burglary. This testifies to the completely unsatisfactory activity of prevention services, criminal investigation and protection. So, only 0.7 percent of houses and 12 percent of business facilities of the country are connected to the security console, video cameras in public places are not united into a single system. This means that the security service is still working in the old way, modern information and communication technologies are being introduced slowly. This situation is one of the reasons for problems associated with disclosure of crimes. In this regard, it is necessary to organize the activity of the security service on the new system, fully introduce information technologies, improve the quality and scale of service on the basis of public-private partnership.
The problem of non-decreasing number of crimes among youth was considered at the meeting. It is a matter of concern that youth are involved in committing 30 percent of all crimes registered in the past 6 months of this year. The reason for this is not the unity of youth around a single idea and goals, the presence of many systemic problems in upbringing and provision of employment. For example, over 600 thousand young boys and girls graduate schools, lyceums and colleges every year. Only 10-15 percent of them enter higher education institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to think about what will happen to the rest. Without creating decent conditions for youth, no one has the moral right to demand something from them. Therefore, the State program “Yoshlar – kelajagimiz” (“Youth – our future”) was adopted, 800 billion sums are allocated for youth entrepreneurship and employment. Responsible persons should visit homes, talk with youth and, on this basis, ensure full execution of the program.
