while the unacceptable murder rate in this country is certainly climbing back to pre-pandemic levels, experts are warning that domestic violence and other forms of antisocial behavior will see unprecedented levels as the world reopens from the pandemic lockdowns and curfews. One cause for concern is violence among school children, some who have been locked away for almost two years. And the experts warn that not only may there need to be a relearning of social behavior among school children but additional security measures put in place to bring any outbreak of violence and unrest under control as quickly as possible.. Some suggest that there should be a gradual re-opening of schools, starting with a 3day face to face week then expanding to five days over several weeks.
