A large-scale meeting under the slogan "The Power of Law Begins with Consciousness" was held in Shymkent, bringing together over 500 students and law enforcement officials. The event became one of the most open platforms for direct dialogue between young people and government agencies. Dialogue without intermediaries The organizers eschewed the participation of experts and NGOs, giving students the opportunity to interact directly with those responsible for city security. Present in the hall were the Deputy Mayor of Shymkent, the heads of the police, the heads of the cybercrime departments, and the city prosecutor, Gabit Mukanov. The conversation was lively, honest, and constructive: the young people came not to listen to lectures, but to discuss real problems. Main topics of the meeting Corruption. Students asked questions about whistleblower protection, punishment for violators, and everyday manifestations of corruption. Prosecutor Gabit Mukanov emphasized that fighting corruption requires not only laws but also a new culture of values, which the younger generation can foster. Internet fraud. Over 60% of police reports today are related to online scams. Law enforcement officials discussed popular scams and protection measures, and students proposed creating a volunteer group for digital education. Bullying. A sensitive topic that touched upon most of the participants. They discussed psychological pressure, bullying in chat rooms, and the lack of effective response mechanisms. Deputy Akim Särsen Küranbek noted the need for teacher training and the creation of trusted channels for reporting complaints. Gambling addiction. Students discussed the growing addiction to online casinos. Law enforcement cited examples of closed underground gambling halls, and young people proposed strengthening prevention efforts: lectures, anonymous consultations, and social campaigns.
