Funny isn't it I asked a friend of mine from karachi why people have a gun he said such a simple yet self explanatory answer because the other guy has it too.
As the infrastructure has grow in our city has the police force grown too??
Our interest remains with our ethnic groups because we feel they will protect us and take care of us has our police force done that no it has failed on those counts the system needs a push before it starts working and the police force needs to be restructured to shape the age of today we need to have towns that have a strict no gun policy and move ahead people hold guns because they don't trust the police force I don't know where in down south you are from but up in Scotland the cops themselves don't even carry a gun it is very rarely seen as a public tool this is the level of protection we need.
The question isn't what is the problem my question is what is the solution to it the first step.

Brother there are always more questions then there are solutions, in case of pakistan. It has been such a big mess that it will take decades to sort it out.
The solutions start with and end with economy. I remember during the times of Omar(RA) a man was convicted of burglery and sentenced to have his hand chopped. When Omar(RA) heard of this incident, he asked the man why had he stolen a piece of bread. His answer was that my children are hungry and i cant find a job. Omar(RA) set the man freesaying that it is the responsibility of the state to provide means of earning to each and every man . Till such time that we do, we have no right to punish the people.
Till we sort our economy out, and provide means of earning to the masses, we cant in all honesty expect them to live honest lives. So this is the angle that needs to be sorted out first.
Secondly, we have knowingly and willingly, made achievement of justice such a tedious job that nobody wants to approach the courts for justice at all. There is a good mechanism of small courts in localities where trials of minor crime go on in RHuanda. can we try it in our pakistan? I would like to have your thoughts.
the police is in a mess. There are too few, too illequipped ,and too corrupt policemen in our country. i am sure there are a lot odf honest ones there as well but they ar e a minority. i think the police needs to be reorganized from the start. We need to recruit people interested in a career in Policing in 8th class. take them through 4 yrs of military style hard training and continue their education to intermediate. At this level they start diversifying into specializations and get taken through BSC and if needed MSC. Their specific training should be geared toawards the speciality that they adopt. They should then be posted in localities from where they have come. the whole Policing system should be under the Justice system and not under the local politicians. We need to continue with their education throughout their careers like the Army does. If these guys are then equipped with the right equipment, they will do a lot of justice to the police than our poor illeducated andilltrained policeman, who is afraid half the time that the next car that he stops might be that of some big wigs son and might earn him a suspension. the local police in many ways is going to be more responsible in keeping their area clean and crime free than people form outside who have no affinity for the local populace.
The justice system needs a reprieve and an overhaul, with appreciation for the honest and punishment for the corrupt. If we sort these 2 angle out our cities in general will become cleaner.
Even if you dont want to go for my Ideal system, make the area DSP?SP responsible for the crimes in their thaana. More than a certain number of crimes and they get suspended. It might work, but we need to keep a close check on how crime is reported. As for each crime recorded, tens of them go unrecorded.
For more organized systems like mafia, it needs to be covert ops by Army supported by local police. In a city like Karachi, areas like Sohrab Goth can be cleared out with one surprise operation.
what are your opinions.
