Read more about advisories and life stories for students, below.
Have a safe and enjoyable holiday season!
Students 12 years old and under
The infographic below offers advice to students aged 12 and under on how to stay safe from crime during the holiday period. You can also find more about youth crime life stories among primary school students.
Shop Theft
Remember, taking things from shops without paying is wrong, even if your friends suggest it. This is called shop theft, and it's against the law.
If you go along with your friends to steal, you can get into trouble too, even if you don't take anything yourself. This is because helping or encouraging others to steal is also not allowed.
Always be honest and respect other people's property. If your friends try to convince you to steal, be brave and say no.
If you're not sure what to do, talk to a trusted adult like your parents or teachers.
Killer Litter
This second story is about throwing things out of windows or from high places which is very dangerous. This is commonly known as 'killer litter'.
Even small objects like toys or food can seriously hurt people walking below. Imagine if someone threw something heavy and it hit you or someone you love - it could cause terrible injuries or even death.
If you see someone about to throw things from a height, tell them to stop and inform an adult immediately. Remember, keeping our neighbourhoods safe is everyone's job, and it starts with you being responsible.
Students 13 to 19 years old
The infographic below offers advice to students aged 13 to 19 years old on maintaining personal safety and avoiding criminal activity during school holidays. You can also find more about youth crime life stories.
Shop Theft
Shop theft isn't just about sneaking items into your bag—it's a serious offence with lasting consequences. Even if you're not the one pocketing goods, being part of a group that's shoplifting makes you equally liable for common intention.
This means you could face the same penalties as the person who actually took the item. Think twice before giving in to peer pressure or the thrill of 'getting away with it'. A moment's poor decision can lead to a criminal record, affecting your future.
Remember, stores have sophisticated surveillance systems and trained staff. Is it worth risking your future for a few quid's worth of merchandise? Stay smart, respect the law, and encourage your mates to do the same. If you're struggling with the temptation to steal, reach out to a trusted adult such as your parents or teachers for support.
Money Mule
The second story cautions you against becoming a ‘money mule’. Protect your bank and Singpass accounts at all costs.
Criminals may offer you money to use these accounts, but don't fall for it. This makes you a 'money mule', potentially involved in money laundering and other serious crimes.
Even if you're unaware, you could face criminal charges. Never share your login details or let others use your accounts, no matter how tempting the offer.
If approached, report it to a trusted adult or the police immediately. Your accounts are your future—keep them safe and for your use only.
