Juvenile Crime Prevention Campaign was Launched
01.02.2010
The Georgian Prosecutor’s office, the
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia
launched a joint campaign to prevent the juvenile crime. Within the scope of
this campaign, Georgian Prosecutor Murtaz Zodelava and the Minister of
Education and Science Dimitri Shashkini visited Tbilisi #51 public school and
discussed the main priorities with high school students, parents and teachers. The
participants focused on the following issues: providing a safe school environment,
the coordinating efforts of the law enforcement bodies and educational
institutions with regard to providing a safe environment at schools, the role
of a family and society in raising awareness on importance of forming law abiding
high school students.
The film made by the joint support of the Minister of Education and Science and the General Prosecutor’s office was also shown in public school #51. The film features indifference of the family and society towards carrying a weapon, as a result of which a student turns into a victim and convict at the same time.
A contest was announced in school #51 to reveal the best slogan in this respect. The campaign will last for a year.
Within the framework of the juvenile crime prevention campaign, lectures on legal issues, various contests and discussions will be organized throughout the whole year.
