The Commanding Officer of the Police Service Workshop of the Ghana Police Service, COP Ebenezer Doku has blamed high unemployment as a major cause of crime increase in the country.
He noted that the low level of formal education creating insecurity in most youths as a result of the difficulties and hardships they face in life also a factor.
Mr. Ebenezer speaking to the press over the weekend hinted that lack of jobs in the country is one of the causes of robberies.
“What basically accounts for insecurity in our communities is about lack of jobs and also when people don’t take to the education they find themselves in the streets and naturally that must look for something feed on,” he said.
Speaking on how to curb robberies in Ghana, he mentioned that there is a need to send the youth back to school.
