  • Socio-Cultural Determinants of Female Criminality in Pakistan: a Study of Punjab
    Pakistan Journal of Social Sciences (PJSS) Vol. 35, No. 2 (2015), pp. 875-890 Socio-Cultural Determinants of Female Criminality in Pakistan: A Study of Punjab Imtiaz Ahmad Warraich Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan. [email protected] Muhammad Farooq, PhD Professor, Department of Pakistan Studies, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan. [email protected] Abstract The current study focused on social and cultural patterns that induce and force females to indulge in criminal behavior. It also focused on those circumstances which formulate such situations in which female spoils into criminal behavior for her certain drives. Thus, formulating the core assumptive grounds, the present study focused on socio-cultural determinants of female criminality in Punjab, Pakistan. The researcher used semi structured interview schedule for data collection from 291 respondents selected through systematic random sampling out of total 875 respondents. The statistical analysis of the present study revealed that the most important and effective determinants of female criminality were social disputes, revenge, social deprivation, peer group and family culture. The multivariate canonical correlation explicitly showed that socio-cultural determinants predicted the likelihood of the occurrence of crime in females if they encounter the same socio- cultural circumstances. It was also concluded that the influence of family and peers were the major contributing factors to produce or demote female criminality in Pakistan, particularly in Punjab. Keywords: Criminality, Socio-Cultural determinants, behavior, family, peer group I. Introduction Crime has been measured as unlawful act associated with males because of their dominant nature almost in all subjects of every society (White, Haines, & Asquith, 2012).

    NCHR NEWSLETTER AUGUST-DECEMBER 2017 National Commission for Human Rights 5th Floor Evacuee Trust Complex, Agha Khan Road, Islamabad NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Phone: 051-9216777, Fax: 051-9216772 PAKISTAN E-mail: [email protected], Website: nchr.org.pk AGUST-DECEMBER 2017 NEWSLETTER Chairman’s Message Pakistan is passing through a tumultuous time. In an unprecedented stage in our history we are plagued by a plethora of problems shrouding our future in an ominous cloud. Child abuse is rampant. Hate speech and extremism are festering, leading to forced conversions of minority communities in Tharparkar, Kalash, among others, and an increase in sectarian killings of Hazara Shias in Balochistan, and other religious minorities all over the country. One of the biggest challenges that Pakistan faces is enforced disappearances aimed at shutting down dissent or gaining personal leverage, with multiple accusations levied against state agencies or foreign interference. Synchronously to due process being overlooked, torture is being ignored. There exists no definition of torture in our penal code, a strict rebuke to the international treaties ratified by us. Pakistan has become a mini-killing field; it appears altruism is a victim. Though this may paint a bleak picture, we must remember that the context is unique in Pakistan’s 70 years. Civil society is more empowered than ever and fighting to hold accountable the institutions established to protect them, and the government is taking some measures to tackle these problems, with the establishment of the NCHR being one such step. NCHR is mandated to look into human rights issues faced by Pakistani citizens at home and abroad and to resolve them.

  • Public Buildings
    PUBLIC BUILDINGS VISION Punjab’s Medium Term Development Framework (MTDF) envisions the sector’s role as constructing and maintaining residential and office accommodation facilities in the public sector to render functionally adequate services in most cost-effective manner in order to ensure conducive environment for an efficient public service system. POLICY Public Buildings sector contributes to economy in manifold manners. First of all, it provides basic and essential infrastructure to the government for its working. Government requires the public offices & official residences as essential physical resources to carry out its functions/operations. Adequate building infrastructure ensures the proper functioning of the government functionaries and service delivery to general public. Government is an organization which a society establishes through political means to manage it in a proper manner. Proper functioning of the government results in systematic management of social, economic and political systems. A well- managed country gains prosperity and development through its well managed governing system. Moreover, spending on public buildings/construction sector also triggers demand and contribute towards economic growth and revival. It also generates wide ranging employment opportunities. Its multiple effects on the economy are demonstrated through the wide-ranging potential of the construction activities in generating industrial production, developing small and medium enterprises, creating self-employment opportunities, flourishing business, commerce and trade activities and at the same time enhancing utilization of indigenous natural and man-made resources. In addition to above, it also contributes significantly in fostering social cohesion and environmental improvements. The Public Building (Housing & Offices) sector caters for the residential and office accommodation requirements of nearly all administrative departments, mainly, Police, Prisons, Home, Judiciary, S&GAD, Provincial Assembly, Board of Revenue and Communication & Works etc.
