Discuss the historical development of a criminal law in Tanzania
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The threat of crime in Tanzania is considered critical, specifically in the more urban regions of Dar es Salaam and Arusha. Nighttime robberies, assaults, petty street crime, carjacking and home invasions are all common criminal offenses, yet there is not an exceptionally high rate of violent crime. With such widespread economic hardship, offenses committed are mostly crimes of opportunity and expatriates are usual targets due to their perceived wealth. [23]
In 2007, respondents to the National Victimization Survey reported slightly more than 1,500 crimes. About 70% of this group reported household crimes while the remaining 30% claimed the criminal offense was against that individual. Concerning household crimes, the most common was theft of livestock, bicycle and burglary by entry. Corruption and consumer fraud make up the large majority of crimes committed against an individual. [24]
As of 2004, the homicide rate was 7.52 people murdered for every 100,000 Tanzanians.[25] The most recent report on crime rates of the United Republic of Tanzania was produced in 2000. For every 100,000 people at that time, there were 10.05 offenses of rape, 14.05 aggravated assaults, 3.15 robberies, 89.22 crimes of burglary, 0.75 motor vehicle thefts and the rate of larceny was 80.15 for every 100,000 people. The rate of overall offenses in the year 2000 was 205.32 per every hundred-thousand Tanzanians.[
