Definition of crime rate

Crime rate is a critical and multifaceted indicator that provides insight

into the prevalence and nature of criminal activities within a specified
geographical area over a defined period. It serves as a crucial metric for
assessing the safety and security of a community, guiding law enforcement
efforts, shaping public policy, and informing societal discourse. The study of
crime rates involves the systematic analysis of reported criminal incidents,
categorizing them into various types, and measuring their frequency in
relation to the population.

By examining crime rates, researchers, policymakers, and law

enforcement agencies gain valuable insights into trends, patterns, and
potential areas for intervention, contributing to the development of effective
strategies aimed at fostering safer and more secure societies. This
introduction sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the significance,
intricacies, and implications of crime rates in understanding and addressing
the complex dynamics of criminal behavior.

Explanation of crime from a sociological perspective.

In sociology, crime is studied as a social phenomenon rather than just

an individual act. Sociological perspectives on crime seek to understand how
social structures, institutions, and processes contribute to the occurrence and
understanding of criminal behavior.

The structural functionalism theory views society as a complex system

with various parts working together to maintain stability and order. Deviance
and crime are seen as dysfunctional elements that disrupt social harmony.
However, some level of deviance is also considered necessary to define
societal boundaries and norms.

1
 While the conflict theorists argue that societal structures and
institutions perpetuate social inequality and power imbalances. Crime is often
seen as a result of these inequalities, with certain groups being more likely to
engage in criminal activities due to economic, political, or social disadvantage.
The criminal justice system may also be seen as a tool used by those in
power to control and suppress the marginalized.

Social learning theorists suggest that criminal behavior is learned

through interactions with others.They argue that individuals learn both criminal
and non-criminal behaviors through interactions with others, especially in
intimate social groups. The differential association theory, for instance,
suggests that people learn criminal behavior through association with others
who engage in criminal activities.

Understanding crime from a sociological perspective involves

examining the broader social, economic, and cultural contexts that contribute
to criminal behavior. This approach recognizes that individual actions cannot
be fully understood without considering the societal conditions that shape and
influence them. By studying crime sociologically, researchers aim to uncover
patterns, causes, and consequences that extend beyond individual
motivations.

Types of crimes that had been committed based on the case study

First of all, abduction. The initial act of the perpetrators forcibly taking
David into a van against his will and speeding away had constituted the crime
of kidnapping or abduction. Abduction is a serious offense that involves
unlawfully confining or transporting an individual, often with the intent to
extract a ransom or commit other criminal acts. According to the section 363
of Malaysia Penal Code, the criminal act of abduction, which involves taking
away or detaining a person against their will is against the law and should be
punished with imprisonment for a term that can extend up to seven years and
a fine.

Then, extortion. Based on the case study above, the action of the
perpetrator asked for demand of a significant amount of money in exchange
for David's safe release constitutes the crime of extortion. When a ransom is
demanded, it becomes a specific form of extortion. Extortion involves coercing
someone to do something against their will, usually through threats. In this
case, the demand for money under the threat of harm to David falls under the
category of extortion. According to the section 385 of Malaysia Penal Code,
the action of extortion, which involves putting person in fear of injury in order
to commit extortion is against the law and should be punished with
imprisonment for a term which may extend to ten years and shall also be
liable to whipping.

3
 Next, assault. The physical harm inflicted on David during his captivity,
as indicated by the mention of him being beaten, qualifies as assault. Assault
involves intentional physical harm or the threat of harm to another person.
The severity of the assault can vary, but it is a criminal offense. According to
section 351 of Malaysia Penal Code, the action of conducting assault which
involves involves the intentional use of force or the threat of force against
another person is against the law and should be punished with imprisonment
for a term which may extend to five years or with fine or with whipping or with
any two of such punishments.

Furthermore, sexual assault or rape. The scenario indicates that David

was sexually assaulted during his captivity. Sexual assault involves any
unwanted sexual contact or activity forced upon an individual. Rape is a more
severe form of sexual assault, typically involving penetration without consent.
According to section 376 of Malaysia Penal Code, the sexual assault
described, including rape, would be covered under Section 375 of the
Malaysian Penal Code and should be punished with imprisonment for a term
of not less than five years and not more than twenty years and with whipping.

Lastly, murder. The killing of David, especially if intentional, would likely

be considered murder under Section 302 of the Malaysian Penal Code.
According to section 302 of Malaysia Penal Code, the punishment for murder
of someone else should be punished with death penalty or imprisonment for
life and shall also be liable to whipping.

4
“Dark figure” or “hidden figure” that related with unreported and
undiscovered crime

The terms "dark figures" or "hidden figures" of crime refer to the

unreported and undiscovered incidents that do not appear in official crime
statistics. These elements highlight the gap between the actual occurrence of
criminal activities and what is officially documented. There are several factors
contribute to the existence of these dark figures.

One of the factors is the factor that victim reluctance to report the
cases which stated that victims may be hesitant or unwilling to involve law
enforcement due to the reason of fear of retaliation, mistrust of the criminal
justice system, concerns about privacy, or the belief that the incident is not
serious enough to warrant police involvement.

The second factor can be the victim may be fear of retaliation from the
perpetrator or their associates, particularly in cases involving domestic
violence, gang-related crimes, or organized crime. This fear can lead to
under-reporting and a reluctance to cooperate with law enforcement.

The third factor can be due to the lack of awareness or recognition to

the cases. Some crimes may not be recognized as criminal activities by the
victims or witnesses. This lack of awareness can result in incidents being
dismissed or not reported to law enforcement.

Reducing the dark figures of crime requires addressing these various

factors. Initiatives such as community outreach, awareness campaigns,
improvements in reporting mechanisms, and building trust between law
enforcement and communities can help bridge the gap between the actual
prevalence of crime and what is officially recorded. This, in turn, contributes to
more accurate and comprehensive crime statistics.

General duties of police officers in preventing crime according to
section 20 of Police Act 1967

The section 20 of Police Act 1967 defines the fundamental

responsibilities of police officers. According to section 20(1) of Police Act 1967,
police officers need to exercise the authority conferred on them in order to
carry out the duties that have been placed upon them, and they must
obediently follow any authorised instructions that are occasionally issued by
their senior officers.

According to section 20(2) of Police Act 1967, police officers are

required to follow the instructions and directives of their immediate supervisor
or direct superior.

The section 20(3) of Police Act 1967 provides police officers the
authority to make compulsory arrests of anyone who is legally permitted to be
taken into custody. According to Section 20(4) of Police Act 1967, the police
officers have the same rights as prison personnel when it comes to escorting
and protecting prisoners.

Thus, the general power conferred on the police officers is that they
have to always carry out their duties stated under the act and obey all lawful
directions given to them by any superior officers.

6
The challenges or obstacles faced by law enforcement in handling a
criminal case as described in the case study.

The case study provided at above involves a complex and serious

criminal scenario with several challenges and obstacles for law enforcement.

The first challenge faced by law enforcement in handling the case

might be the issue of masked perpetrators. The identification process of the
abductors may be challenging if they are wearing masks, making it difficult to
obtain facial features or other identifying characteristics. This is because of a
lack of initial leads or eyewitnesses who can provide detailed descriptions of
the perpetrators.

In addition, the investigation team of law enforcement might faced the

problem or obstacle when conducting the crime scene investigation. The
disposal of David's body at an industrial area could complicate the crime
scene investigation. Industrial areas may have less surveillance and fewer
witnesses, making it harder to identify and locate potential suspects. The
crime scene may have been contaminated if it took law enforcement some
time to locate David's body.

Then, the forensic challenge. The severity of the crime, including

sexual assault and murder, necessitates a thorough forensic examination.
However, obtaining forensic evidence may be challenging if the perpetrators
took precautions to avoid leaving traces.

Lastly, the cooperation with other agencies. The case involving

kidnapping, sexual assault, and murder may require collaboration between
various law enforcement agencies, such as police organization, special
investigation units, and forensic experts. Ensuring effective coordination can
be challenging.

7
Conclusion

From this assignment, I have acquired an understanding that multiple

offenses may be perpetrated within a singular case. The determination or
verification of the number of offenses is contingent upon the particulars of the
case. Nevertheless, oversights may occur, leading to the unreported or
undiscovered of a crime. Several factors contribute to the unreported or non-
detection of a crime, including victim reluctance, fear of reprisal, or a lack of
awareness. The duties of police officers, as delineated in Section 20 of the
Police Act of 1967, encompass the mitigation of these challenges and the
execution of law enforcement activities to uphold the stability and tranquility of
the nation.
