Crime rates in Turkey are sounding the alarm: How can crime rates be curbed?
The fact that the murderer of police officer Şeyda Yılmaz, who was martyred in Ümraniye, Istanbul, was released despite having 26 prior criminal records has raised deep questions about the justice system in Turkey. Experts point to the lack of effective rehabilitation policies and are debating the reasons behind the rise in crime rates.

Police officer Şeyda Yılmaz was martyred in an incident that took place recently in the Ümraniye district of Istanbul.
The fact that the perpetrator of the incident, Yunus Emre Geçti, was still free despite having 26 criminal records has sparked a major public outcry. This situation has led to deep debates regarding the effectiveness of the justice and legal system in Turkey.
RELEASED DESPITE A CRIMINAL RECORD
The reasons why Yunus Emre Geçti was free despite having such a high number of criminal records are being questioned. Experts state that the penal execution system and rehabilitation processes in Turkey are not sufficiently effective.
It is stated that individuals who commit crimes return to society without receiving the necessary sanctions commensurate with the severity of their crimes, thereby endangering public safety.
CRITICISMS OF THE JUSTICE AND LEGAL SYSTEM
The functioning of the justice system in Turkey has been frequently criticized, especially in recent years.
Legal experts emphasize that the disruptions in the administration of justice are a factor that increases crime rates.
It is believed that rehabilitation policies applied in Western countries could prevent similar crimes. Such policies aim at the rehabilitation of criminals and their reintegration into society.
THE RISE IN CRIME RATES
It is observed that crime rates in Turkey were low before the AKP government, but these rates have shown a serious increase in recent periods. In particular, the rise in drug-related and illicit incidents has reached a point where it is being compared to South American countries.
This situation brings with it not only the release of criminals but also an increasing sense of insecurity in society.
HOW CAN THESE INCIDENTS BE PREVENTED?
The martyrdom of Şeyda Yılmaz serves as a reminder once again that the justice system in Turkey needs to be reviewed. Implementing rehabilitation policies stands out as an effective solution for reducing crime rates and ensuring public safety. In order to prevent such tragic events from happening again, justice must be served and effective sanctions must be applied against criminals.
