Crime strategy should target social problems: police chief
By James Wood, The StarPhoenix June 10, 2010. A provincial strategy to reduce violent crime should focus not just on policing and prosecutions but also on underlying social problems, said Saskatoon's police chief. Clive Weighill said in an interview this week he is fully supportive of a violent crime reduction strategy, the development of which has been given to the minister of justice and minister of corrections, policing and public safety in new mandate letters last week. But he said there needs to be a "multi-jurisdictional" approach that brings in the ministries of health, social services and education as well. The public and social agencies also need to be involved in what he called a "much broader social strategy" than efforts that have targeted auto theft and break and enters in the past. "We have to continue working with our partners, our social justice partners, in trying to alleviate this problem because, let's face it, a lot of these problems occur out of social conditions: Poverty, poor housing, racism, addictions, abuse. That's what's causing a lot of these problems and those are the issues we need to work on," said Weighill. Saskatchewan Party Justice Minister Don Morgan said in a recent interview social agencies and other ministries need to be involved in the long-term solution to violent crime, although they aren't part of the specific mandate.
