No remorse in offenders
About 90 per cent of offenders, who complete jail term, continue to commit crimes rather than pursuing an alternative path to lead a decent life in the city. Improper counselling, lack of employment, luring luxurious life of other criminals besides social stigma will not allow them to go beyond the crime circle, which is as powerful as a black hole in space.
Vijayawada: About 90 per cent of offenders, who complete jail term, continue to commit crimes rather than pursuing an alternative path to lead a decent life in the city. Improper counselling, lack of employment, luring luxurious life of other criminals besides social stigma will not allow them to go beyond the crime circle, which is as powerful as a black hole in space.
Highlights:
- Continue crime after jail term
- Improper counselling, lack of employment, luring luxurious life of other criminals besides social stigma will not allow them to go beyond the crime circle
Women are equally good in theft skills when compared to men. All habitual offenders have been working for gangs or groups in most of the cases. For example, five chain-snatchers whom the police had arrested recently had committed crimes in more than one time previously.
Ramisetty Rakesh (28) and Rayala Bhargav (38) of Tiruvuru, Suragani Renuka Rao alias Venu (26) of Pappula Mill area, Akula Sriram (25) of Poranki and Maruboina Uday (25) of Tadigadapa formed a gang and resorted to crime. The gang had a record of committing six crimes each in 2016 and this year. Similar was the case with other gang which has two members from Hyderabad.
The duo, Patharlapalli Naga Durga Prasad (25) and Biyyanola Satyanarayana (21) of Jubilee Hills, along with Bhukya Yakob (21) of Nunna, committed 22 chain-snatchings since 2016.
It may not surprise when one understands that women are also excelling in the art of theft just like other fields. Three women had formed a gang and stealing saris in reputed textile outlets for 20 years. Peram Bhagyam (72), Balasani Kanaka Durga (60) and Sadupati Durga (47) of Tadepalli in Guntur district are familiar with sari stealing skill.
They paid a visit to a textile shop at Gayatrinagar here and walked out with 18 saris without giving a clue to the shop owners on August 5. The similar gang made their presence at Vastralatha in One Town on September 11. However, the cops caught them and recovered saris worth Rs 2.76 lakh. They had served imprisonment in several cases earlier. However, they chose to do the same kind of crimes even after their release from jail.
There are numerous examples of criminals who prefer continue in the same profession as it was one way of making easy money besides several other reasons.
“We conduct weekly counselling for former offenders and ensure their presence at the police station concerned at least once in a week. Ninety per cent of criminals even after their release from jail commit crime,” says an official of the police department.
“I served jail term for committing a theft four years ago. I have one vice and that is drinking alcohol. Now, I am a reformed person and not committing any crime. Still police look at me with an eye of suspicion,” says E Prasad, a resident of New Rajarajeswaripet.
