| dc.description.abstract | The study examines the problems caused by crime in Rwanda and responds to two critical
questions, what factors underlie crime mutations in Rwanda? What security implications do
mutating forms of crimes pose to Rwanda. The study is undergirded by two objectives that
examine and analyze factors that underlie crime mutations in Rwanda, while at the same time
examining and contextualizing security implications of mutating modes and forms of crimes in Rwanda.
The study argues that crime mutations in Rwanda are a function of socio-economic and political
environment that has been in the country for some time on one hand, but also crime mutations
change much faster than the government institutions are able to adapt on the other.
We recommend that the government of Rwanda should focus on building a strong, self reliant
economy in order to effectively respond to citizens needs and to achieve this Rwanda needs to
build a strong private sector and avoid dependency on foreign aid. I The government of Rwanda
through poverty reduction strategy should increase export earnings and diversify the economy by
developing information technology and communications to create more jobs.
In the meantime Rwanda should endeavor to train criminal justice officials, particularly the
police training in the fields where crime tends to be mutating. We recommend regional
cooperation in the order to fight transnational crime. Exchange programs, training, joint
operations and timely exchange of information is a necessity in the region of East Africa and
beyond in order to track and arrest criminals
