There is an increasingly worrisome trend of violent crimes IN PENANG SINCE 308 resulting in grievous harm AND DEATH JUST LIKE THE CASE IN rIFLE rANGE WHERE A WOMAN WAS ROBBED AND RESULTING IN DEATH. .While victims were only deprived of their valuables in the past, they now face the danger of sustaining heavy injuries and even losing their lives in the process. Women walking alone are popular targets.There is a distorted cognitive justification for this violence: when in pain, the victim is less likely to chase after the motorcyclist, take down number plates, or provide meaningful information about the attackers. Onlookers are also more likely to help wounded victims instead of chasing after the culprits. Some cause harm to exert power over their victims. A few sadistic criminals also enjoy watching others in pain, and it serves as a bragging right among other snatch thieves. There are two basic types of violent offenders: the caring and the uncaring.The first type adopts a more hesitant approach, with a soft-spoken manner and seemingly harmless appearance. They ask for permission first, seek compliance, and psychologically justify the need for violence.If the victim hands over their valuables, violence is less likely. If a sharp weapon is used, it is used once to stop the victim from chasing after the criminal. The problem lies with the uncaring sort. This confident lot approaches potential victims in a threatening manner with clearly verbalized threats and a readiness to spring into violence. Anything and nothing may trigger it. Perhaps the victim was slow to hand over the goods, or screamed suddenly to get help from passersby. This is enough for the criminal to lash out several times, often resulting in multiple slashes. Those who snatch while riding motorcycles belong to this class of criminal, as they are unconcerned with whether their crime causes the victim’s death. Some snatch thieves like to operate during the day, some at night, and others steal whenever they want. The common elements are the opportunities to do so, the lack of someone capable of stopping them, and possible gain from the theft. Commercial hubs, packed neighborhoods, and industrial areas see higher crime rates as the potential victim pool is larger, various crimes can be committed in a wider zone, and there is a higher likelihood of escape. Though ignorance of the law is not a viable excuse that many criminals are unaware of the exact repercussions for their actions. The best deterrent against violent crime is education about our criminal justice system and the negative consequences to criminals and their families. Most importantly, knowledge of what the victim and his or her family suffers. Moral decay among the younger generation is also a factor showing lessening morality levels. People are becoming more individualistic. They come first, regardless of whether their personal needs harm others, so taking other people’s hard-earned valuables is not a problem for robbers and the like. Negligent parents who allow their children to play violent electronic games that blur the boundary between fantasy and reality are partly to be blamed . However, parents are sometimes unaware of such activities as unethical cyber cafes allow young clients to indulge in said material without sufficient monitoring of content propriety.Violent crimes are a behavioural approach. Perpetrators think victims will counter and engage, so they hurt the victim to make them withdraw. In the past, people took their troubles to the police and made an official report, which would begin the launch of a proper investigation. Now, less people are making official reports as they think nothing will come of it. Some find it easier to settle their troubles themselves. But you should lodge a report and let the police do their jobs even knowing no fruitful result will be obtained most of the time....
