| PROJECT INFORMATION | Alongside the Thai Tourism Initiative came another concern: the crime spike. Therefore the new Crown has pushed forward the Crime, Unemployment, and Homelessness Act of 1997 (CUH97 for short). This Act would tackle the problems of rising crime, assure unemployment remains low, and aid the homeless all in one. Rehab centers, mental health clinics, and job centers would all be created with funding by the government which would focus on aiding criminals and the homeless reaching a stable state of mind and health and assuring that they and those who are unemployed are able to find employment. However, as finding employment is more difficult as a criminal the government would also fund new businesses which would focus on hiring ex-convicts and work with the cities of Thailand to keep them clean and maintained via janitorial work, garbage cleaning, and maintenance of buildings and other structures. Other institutions would be funded by the government that would aid the homeless in getting their lives back together and find them employment and housing within Thailand's new and small but cheap housing to serve as rapid-housings. Other funding would be placed towards self-employed individuals such as motortaxis, street vendors, sex workers, and other independent businesses in the form of small loans to assure a healthy growth of small businesses and employment rate. To keep crime down more funding would also be sent out to high schools to assure that young Thais are well thought and well treated and protected from crime while the government now banned dropping out of high school and promoted post-secondary education. Some of the funding of the Act would also be placed towards cleaning up and repairing blighting housing and neighborhoods of big Thai cities in the hopes that a better state of living would drop crime rates. Lastly, the last of the funding would be placed towards fixing Thailand's prison system from one of punishment to rehabilitation. While severe crimes such as murder, rape, and pedophilia would still be focused on punishment other crimes would focus on rehabilitating the criminals rather than punishing them. Rehabilitation would focus on assuring a healthy body free of addictions and a stable mind and to learn proper skills for the work force before being released back into public populace. It is the government's hope that this rehabilitation will ease the criminals' reentry into the general populace and would therefore reduce the chance of them committing another crime. Most rehabilitation programs also cost less than punishing the prisoners and such programs would include drug addiction rehab, alcohol addiction rehab, violent behavior rehab, gambling addiction rehab, and others. |
