Kenya has been facing multinational crimes.
There are efforts to tame corruption, drug trafficking, money laundering, child trafficking, terrorism threats and attacks and emerging crimes like cybercrime.
With such high crime rates, the country needs to have a professional body of knowledge with the laid down standards guided by the code of ethics to lead in its operations on matters crime and fighting the vice.
Parliament in particular, through the National Administration and Security Committee, chaired by Paul Koinange and deputized by Maj. John Waluke needs to put up a bill in the house and enact it to formalize the Professional Criminology Association of Kenya (PCAK).
An Act of Parliament to this effect will enable PCAK under the leadership of Munene Mugambi inject more professionalism on matters security, crime control measures and through the forensic expertise unravel crime 'mysteries' in the country.
With the Act of Parliament in place, it will be possible to tame rogue individuals hiding under the gap in the law and claiming to be criminologists.
This way, higher learning institutions offering Criminology training such as Kibabii University and Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology will focus on producing world-class criminologists in the Country.
Being a young discipline (Criminology), Criminology graduates will be free to offer professional services to this country with unquestionable integrity and work standards.
