OPININON - The future of criminal justice studies in Namibia
2021-04-01
People are not only supposed to live in safer neighbourhoods but equally in an environment that provides peace of mind and allows human beings to co-exist, respect each other, and carry out daily activities without fearing that crime would engulf the society and destabilise livelihoods. That is the purpose of criminal justice.
In a layman’s interpretation, criminal justice should not be disconnected from every-second protection of human life and property.
Therefore, the study of criminal justice is the reinforcement of such understanding, to enable society to reap the benefits of protection, crime prevention, safeguarding livelihoods, and promotion of justice for all.

The almost 40-year-old Oshamukweni Combined School in Okongo circuit, Ohangwena Region, does not have a school hostel and its pupils and teachers sleep in corrugated iron shacks.
The school opened in 1978 at Oshamwukweni village, but because of the war it relocated to Oshalumbu village in 1982, where it is now. It is home to over 300 pupils from pre-primary level up to grade 9.
Learners are taught in corrugated iron structures funded by the pupils’ parents because of a shortage of classrooms. Some of the classrooms have broken chairs and desks.
