• The National Police Agency has released the monthly suicide rates for 2012 (up to the end of August)… just one problem… the data table is empty… completely empty… I’m not too blindly optimistic to think that there haven’t been any suicides nationally thus far this year.
• The Public Prosecutors Office has released its 2011 statistics and by contrast to the NPA suicide data, there is way too much information here for me to digest right now. Let me know if there is anything interesting.
• The Ministry of Justice is considering proposing an amendment to the Juvenile Law such that the maximum possible sentence is five years longer. Why?
