A pat on the back for crime fighters

National crime statistics from the Botswana Police, and indeed even our casual observations, indicate that crime over the festive season was generally low. Perhaps, with the exception of rape, which is one of the heinous crimes that seems to be on the surge, other criminal activities such as robbery and house-breaking are on the decline.

This is a major turn around given that in the past, the festive season was a time when criminals ruled the roost, making life miserable for helpless Batswana who lost a lot of their goods to the criminals.
