About Crime Statistics the Crime Rate Is an Important Social Indicator As It Can Shed Light on Subtle Shifts in Society About Crime Statistics The crime rate is an important social indicator as it can shed light on subtle shifts in society. For example a researcher might be interested to analyse if the overall crime rate increased after the opening of the Integrated Resorts, and if so, in which areas. Unfortunately, however statistical series for crime statistics are not available in electronic databases. Important note In addition most of the crime and drug statistics available online are secondary resources1. It is possible to reconstruct the primary data by extracting the raw figures (where available) from the secondary sources. However this is a cumbersome and unreliable process. Please also note that the contents of statistical reports may differ slightly across different releases. Broken links Followed a broken link? Report any such errors to this email. 1 Secondary data refers to statistical figures which have been extracted for analysis, e.g. a pie chart showing the percentage of heroin abusers, as opposed to raw numbers. Created by Tan Han Yong for Sociology on 28 September 2010 All Rights Reserved. NTU Library Singapore crime statistics Crime statistics for Singapore can be found from a number of sources. For example, broad overview statistical figures are available from the Singapore Statistics webpage. However the Singapore Police Force (SPF) website may be a better source to visit if you require detailed information on crime statistics. General Crime Rate (web document) (Scondary data) This page contains a graph which visualises the general crime rate over the past 10 years (1999-2009). This graph is most useful for an instant overview of the annual crime situation in Singapore and its fluctuations. For example it is possible to instantly notice a sharp spike in crime in the year 2005. Singapore Police Force Annual Report (Secondary data) More detailed information on crime in Singapore is concentrated at the SPF website. For example you may be interested to investigate further why there was a noticeable spike in crime in the year 2005. The Singapore Police Force Annual Report contains more detailed information on the annual crime situation in Singapore. However, only data for the years 2006-2009 is available on the internet. Annual reports for 2004 and before are only available in print format. Contains: Individual crime rates for 6 broad crime classes.

  • Juvenile Justice: a Study of National Judiciaries for The
    JUVENILE JUSTICE: A STUDY OF NATIONAL JUDICIARIES FOR THE UNITED NATIONS ASIA AND FAR EAST INSTITUTE FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRIME AND THE TREATMENT OF OFFENDERS A focus on Singapore and selected comparisons with California (USA) & Australia Joseph Ozawa* I. SINGAPORE When Singapore is mentioned in various parts of the world, there are certain predicable responses, often focusing on Singaporean laws or the judicial system. “Oh, the place that makes chewing gum illegal!” or “The country that caned Michael Fey for spraying graffiti!” or “The nation that makes it a crime not to flush a toilet!” However, despite these sometimes amusing though derisive attributions, taking decisive action on minor infractions was subsequently popularized and advocated by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling in their 1982 treatise entitled, “broken windows.” Here Wilson and Kelling argued that actually tolerating broken windows will actually result in larger and more extensive crimes. A successful anti-crime strategy is to fix problems when they are still minor. New York City government used much of Wilson’s and Kelling’s theory in “cleaning up” New York streets. Whatever the end product of “small laws,” Singapore has 12 times the population of Vancouver but just half the crime rate. It is difficult finding many recent international crime comparisons and as researchers know, comparing crime rates is filled with methodological problems. However, in general, in 1993, the juvenile delinquency rate in Singapore was rated at 538 per 100,000 persons whereas Japan was rated 1,220 per 100,000 and the USA 5,460 per 100,000.

  • World Factbook of Criminal Justice Systems
    WORLD FACTBOOK OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS SINGAPORE Mahesh Nalla Michigan State University This country report is one of many prepared for the World Factbook of Criminal Justice Systems under Bureau of Justice Statistics grant No. 90-BJ-CX-0002 to the State University of New York at Albany. The project director was Graeme R. Newman, but responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in each report is that of the individual author. The contents of these reports do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Bureau of Justice Statistics or the U. S. Department of Justice. GENERAL OVERVIEW I. Political system. Singapore is a city/nation with a population of 2.6 million. 77% of its population are Chinese, 15%, Malays, and 6%, Indian. The four official languages of Singapore are English, Mandarin Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. (Vreeland, et.al., 1977). The Republic of Singapore is a parliamentary government patterned after the English Westminster model. The constitution provides the structure and organization of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the government. (Vreeland, et.al., 1977). 2. Legal system The legal system in Singapore is adversarial in nature. English common law was superimposed on the existing Malay customary law and Muslim law. Consequently, the legal system in Singapore can be characterized as pluralistic. While the dominant common law which shaped the Singapore legal system applies to all segments of the population, Muslim law governs the Muslim community in religious and matrimonial matters. Muslim law is administered in accordance with the Administration of Muslim Law Act, Cap.42.

INTERTWINING PUBLIC MORALITY, PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION, AND PUNISHMENT: LOW CRIME AND CONVICTIONS IN SINGAPORE Zachary Reynolds 06/06/17 Introduction We have all likely heard of Singapore’s famously low crime rates. A point of well-deserved national pride, the small, island nation is committed to the safety of citizens and foreigners alike and consistently ranks as one of the safest cities in the world. To put this in perspective, an expatriate alumnus of the University of Chicago explained to me during my recent visit to Singapore1 that he was never concerned for the safety of his teenage daughter regardless of from where, when, or how she came home at night. Murder? Singapore has one of the lowest rates worldwide at 0.2 per 100,000 in 2013.2 Assault? Strictly controlled access to firearms makes deadly assault an extreme anomaly, and violent crime in general is virtually unheard of.

  • WHITE-COLLAR CRIME in SINGAPORE Then And
    16 Singapore Academy of Law Journal (2009) 21 SAcLJ WHITE-COLLAR CRIME IN SINGAPORE Then and Now This article attempts to give an overview of what constitutes white-collar crime, highlighting some of the more significant milestones of such in Singapore’s history, and perhaps also attempting to describe the trends which can be observed. It is perhaps a timely review, because the incidence of white-collar crime is escalating, as newspaper headlines bear this out regularly. K ANPARASAN LLB (Hons) (National University of Singapore); Deputy Managing Partner, KhattarWong. I. Concept – What is white-collar crime? 1 Let’s start off with getting the concept in focus. What is white- collar crime? The term “white-collar crime” itself has not been defined by judicial decisions in Singapore. It is also a term which has been used almost interchangeably with “corporate crime” or “business crime”. 2 Academics have their differences in trying to define what constitutes corporate or white-collar crime. An American sociologist Edwin H Sutherland tried to define “’white-collar crime” as “crime committed by person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation”.1 The deficiency in this approach is that it seems to concentrate on the social status of the criminal instead of the nature and context of the offences concerned; such a definition would appear to suggest that all offences committed by persons of high social standing could, therefore, be classified as “white-collar crime’’, a proposition which presents obvious logical and semantic difficulties,2 for an accountant or lawyer may also commit murder but no one would call such an act white-collar or corporate crime.

Soedarto, SH, Tembalang, Semarang, Kotak Pos 1269 Website: http//www.fisip.undip.ac.id Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Indonesia is one of the country with a high level of corruption. One issue that stands out is BLBI (Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance). This problem then developed to complex when the suspects fled to neighboring countries, namely Singapore. To overcome this, in 2007 Indonesia - Singapore conclude an extradition treaty. But after that Indonesia delay the extradition treaty, because Singapore input this agreement in DCA (Defense Cooperation Agreement). By using the theory of realism and globalization to see that threatened state security and corruption offenses be transnational crime, as well as qualitative methods, this study analyzes why Indonesia postponed the extradition treaty between Indonesia and Singapore 2007-2014, particularly in cases of corruption. The study found that although the delays Indonesia to ratify the extradition treaty, which leads to the difficulties of law enforcement for criminals who flee to Singapore, Indonesia will remain in his stance by not ratifying the extradition. This is because Indonesia will experience a lot of harm, such as threats to the sovereignty of his country if it remains ratify extradition treaty to be included in the DCA. Keywords: extradition, DCA, Indonesia, Singapore, corruption, BLBI PENDAHULUAN Korupsi di Indonesia sudah terjadi sejak dulu, sebelum dan sesudah kemerdekaan, di era Orde Lama, Orde Baru, berlanjut hingga era Reformasi.
