Youth crime down
By Lee Jia Xin
YOUTH crime in Singapore has seen a general decrease over the years through various police enforcement and preventive actions.
In response to rising concern over the recent spate of youth gang attacks and rioting, police on Friday said they will step up operations against gang-related activity.
In a statement giving an update on the gang situation in Singapore today, police said the number of youths arrested for overall crime has gone down by 9 per cent to 2,086 in the first six months of this year, from the same period last year.
This group accounted for 24 per cent of all offenders arrested for overall crime between January and June.
But the number of youths arrested for rioting in the first half year has gone up from 263 a year ago to 278.
Police said youth crime is a multi-faceted problem that requires a multi-pronged approach and urged schools, law enforcement agencies, social services sector, parents and youths themselves all to pay a role
