a new study on trends of crime victimisation and reporting has revealed.
The report titled, The Crime Victimization and Reporting Trends in Uganda, compiled by Human Rights Network (HURINET), also shows that unemployment is the leading cause of crime in Uganda.
HURINET coordinates the activities of different human rights organisations through sharing information and resources.
The report says the Police image has been dented largely by “wrong elements” in the force that engage in activities that are contrary to the law and code of ethics of the force hence giving it a negative image.”
The respondents also cited Police’s inability to respond quickly to crime and corruption and some external factors such as politicians and local leaders who portray the Police as ineffective.
