The miserable citizens of Karachi find no place to go and no means to resort to for seeking some respite from the continuous lawlessness amid violence, arsons and targeted killings that have turned the ‘City of Lights’ into ‘City of Crimes.’

The mindless bloodletting of targeted killings is going on unabated despite the concerned authorities repeated claims and pledged to root out the menace. An average seven to none people are being killed daily in the city during the last two months. The unabated targeted killings, activities of extortionists, violent protests, strikes, and day mornings by political and religious parties have had their detrimental impact on trade and industrial activities.

Industrialists say continued violence coupled with mourning days and strikes have badly disturbed the business environment of city that ultimately hit the economy of country. Export orders being shifted to regional competitors and layoffs have become a normal norm for the city’s industrialists due to the deteriorating law and order situation.

During the week over 50 people were killed and scores other injured in targeted killing incidents in the city. The elements involved in the targeted killing have now resorted to indiscriminate firing on hotels and tea stalls, which remained open till late night or through out the night. Instead of taking action against the people involved the firing incidents on tea stalls and hotels in different areas of the city, Karachi police have ordered the owners of teas stalls and hotels to closed down their concerns early in the night. The illogical ordered invited the ire of citizens and media. A student of a college, Naeem, commented it seemed the Karachi police on day would ask the people not to come out of the homes, so that they could not become victim of targeted killing.

People have strongly criticized the government for its illogical and mindless decision such as banning pillion riding and early closure of tea stalls and

    The security is rapidly deteriorating. This is making it harder for the UN and aid agencies to reach communities in need. Schools and health clinics are being shut down in many areas where communities have been threatened by the Taliban to stop supporting the Afghan government. (Refugees International, 2001) Even the police are often seen as a greater source of insecurity than the Taliban, because many of them are linked to criminal gangs and are involved in violent crime such as kidnapping and robberies. (Kazem-Stojanovic, 2011) In this country, there is no safe place to go. Even the people you’re supposed to be able to trust (the police) are a threat to your safety. I don’t blame them for their desperation to leave. Their fear is so strong that people are paying up to $30 000 to people smugglers to come to Australia, (Amiri, 2012) only to be treated badly in a country that they thought would be the start to the life they deserve.…

    Violence in London attracts headlines. After four people were murdered in separate incidents in London on July 10th, 2008, BBC correspondent Andy Tighe said “To have four fatal stabbings in one day could be a statistical freak”1. But could it? And on July 28th thelondonpaper had the front page headline: “London’s murder count reaches 90”. Of course every single murder is a tragedy for those whom it affects, and it is little comfort to them what patterns we may detect in the figures. But for the benefit of the police service and broader society we may wish to consider whether these “shocking” numbers in the media are evidence that things are really getting worse. Each year the London Metropolitan Police record around 170 homicides, and this has been stable for the last 5 years2. Box 1 explains what is covered by “homicide”—here we shall use “murder” as an equivalent term. We shall focus on all murders, whatever the method of killing: Box 2 provides details about the cause of death and briefly considers stabbings alone. Each of these murders is an individual crime that cannot be predicted. It may appear strange, but this very randomness means that the overall pattern of murders is, in some ways, quite predictable. Using some basic probability theory, and assuming that the level of violence remains the same, we can answer the questions coming out of the two stories given above: first, four murders in a day is unusual but not extraordinary. We would expect it to occur around once every 3 years. And, second, we would have expected, on statistical grounds, 93 murders by July 28th—so the count of 90 is not at all surprising. We can also…
