Controlling High Rise in Crime Through Good Governance

The impact of the first Martial Law imposed by Ayub Khan in Pakistan on 27 Oct 58 provides an interesting study of the response of our sociologists, economists, jurists, lawmen, legislators, administrators, bureaucrats, politicians, industrialists, business executives, feudal lords but particularly the common man. During the first three months Pakistan looked like a puritan society true to the ideals of Plato, Aristotle and Socrates. Daily newspapers lost their salt and spice. Not a single story of murder, dacoity, kidnapping for ransom, rape, looting, car lifting, eve-teasing, drug smuggling, or the exploits of the bravados of the underworld etc were there to report.
