A concerted effort by all quarters to bring crime rates down is a vital ingredient in the push to make Malaysia a developed country by 2020. Not only does crime impact quality of life - sometimes with devastating effect - it can also come with substantial economic cost. In England and Wales, crime against individuals and households cost society a staggering STG34 billion (STG1=RM4.85) in 2009-2010, according to research conducted by Victim Support, an organisation that provides free, confidential support, practical help and advice for victims of crime.
Ninth Survey of White Collar Crime Both criminal and civil penalties can be levied against individuals or corporations that present false claims to the government that they know are false. Application of the False Claims Act of 1863 has been extended beyond government procurement to encompass fraudulent tax returns and false claims for welfare and Medicare benefits. The statute has been interpreted broadly to encourage whistleblowing and to reduce government waste. The elements of a criminal violation do not differ from those for civil penalties.
Another massive data breach involving credit and debit card information has made Maine consumers vulnerable to fraud. This is not only a crime against individuals, but one that damages confidence in retail commerce at a time when the economy can least afford a slow-down of activity.

Allegheny County Jail workers ignored the pleas of a pregnant, dying inmate and failed to get her life-saving treatment, her family alleges in a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday. I think that our office has some concerns about the conduct in the jail, the care, or sometimes lack of care, provided to inmates," said attorney Robert N. Peirce, who filed the case on behalf of Luann Gillespie Shultz and whose firm is involved in another lawsuit against the jail. "Yes, these are individuals convicted of a crime, but they have rights, including basic medical care.

The slashing of more than 600 books related to themes of women's health, gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual issues, as well as AIDS and HIV, bicultural and biracial subjects, is more than a crime against the individuals whose lives are in part defined by these labels. It is a crime against all of us. Forty-four of these books, all destroyed by a one man, were given to Santa Feans to artistically interpret in a show that opens from
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Amnesty International today released a report finding that the rampant proliferation of TASER electro-shock weapons among United States law enforcement agencies is contributing to widespread human rights abuses. The report details 74 TASER-related deaths that have occurred in the United States and Canada since June 2001, providing additional support for Amnesty International's long-standing call for a suspension of the use of the electro-shock weapons until it can be determined if they are killing people. Amnesty International USA will also release information documenting more than 80 TASER- related deaths since 1999. The fact that more than 60 percent of these deaths have occurred in the last year (Nov. 2003 to Nov. 2004) significantly increase...

But the FBI's new statistical report on hate crimes, released Monday, also showed that about 17 percent of these crimes were triggered by religious bias. Another 14 percent were motivated by sexual orientation bias while 13 percent were tied to ethnic bias. Slightly less than 1 percent involved bias against a mental or physical disability. Most of these crimes were targeted against individuals, with a majority of the hate crime incidents occurring in or near the victims' residences.
Risk has become a prominent feature of our society. Changes in legislation, media coverage, and public attitudes have resulted in greater awareness of risk, and a propensity to litigation arising from personal injury claims. This article examines whether and how changing attitudes to risk in the UK impact on the design of public spaces, reducing the quality of streets, squares, and parks, and draws implications for local government. The research design involved elite stakeholder interviews and case studies, two of which are reported here. The analysis reveals that risk aversion and the compensation culture are powerful forces. However, there is evidence that strong leadership by key actors - especially local government politicians, urban design professionals, risk managers, and the insu...
