There are
many violated laws/crimes in Indonesia, the country I am living in right now.
It is not exactly one of the countries where crimes are not committed very
often. There have been quite an amount of cases and stories where crimes are committed.
From theft, pick pocketing to attacks, there is an abundance of bad plots in
Indonesia. It may be the government’s fault or the police’s fault but we should
consider the resources available for them as well as the citizen’s reception
when a friend or family is punished. It is be right to punish them but the close
ones are usually biased about their thoughts on the verdict.
Pick pocketing is very common in crowded places like the wet market. One will walk into the
location and must be very careful. Unknowingly, that person can find him or
herself looking for their cell phone or wallet filled with a lot of money,
unable to find it. But who is to blame? The pickpockets or the society (including
the law enforcers)? Actually, considering
the socio-economic status of the people, they may be to blame. But it may be
the law enforcers’ fault too. The poor resource management of Indonesia causes
the people to have less money given from the government’s support.
Today, in
Indonesia, cases of corruption have caused the nation to be unstable in terms of its infrastructure and the
distribution of money. The poor have no support from the rich, that is why they
may resort to crimes.
