Editor, RE: “RNP target youth in crime prevention” (The New Times, June 20). Thumbs up for Rwanda National Police. It is very true that if children are raised in a house with drug and alcohol issues, it is more likely they will have drug and alcohol related problems in their future. Also, if they are raised in an abusive household, there is a likelihood that it may shape their personality and process of growing up. However, if homes become good examples and parents become exemplary to their children and neighbours, we shall certainly have youth that are free from drug abuse, trafficking and related crimes. It is good to start with the remote areas which are the most affected. Dokta
