FOCUS: PEOPLE & POWER Island of music and murder With 268 armed gangs or neighbourhood ‘corner crews’ locked in deadly turf wars, Jamaica is one of the most violent societies on earth. With a population of less than three million people, police kill hundreds of people every year in what they claim are crime-related shootouts, making Jamaica’s police force among the deadliest in the world. Rights groups say that these shootings add up to a campaign of extra-judicial executions carried out by police who have taken the law into their own hands. The official police response to these allegations cannot be recorded – the commissioner has issued standing orders which ban all officers from speaking to foreign journalists. But, as reporter Simon Ostrovsky discovered, many others in Jamaica are prepared to speak out. One of them, Robert Hill, an entertainer, actually warned of his own impending death. see www.youtube.com
@carlton044 DO YOU THINK BRUCE STEPPING DOWN WILL SOLVE JAMAICA CRIMES?
No, but what can help to solve most of the crime is to let the poor people able to survive. They are suffering because of the high cost of living. Why can’t the Goverment help to sort out the problem, other countries can sort their problem. Jamaica is the only country in the world who as the highest crime rate, and that is a shame. I cannot even retire in my own country because of the high crime rate.
@montgomery818 Regarding the crime rate what is being done in this week is a first step to reduce crime .The budjet is a numbers game ,let me give you an example when Jlp left office the 1989 the total debt was approx $100m and the dollar was $5.50 to US$I.00 for the 18 yrs PNP was in power when they came out the total debt was $100Billion and the dollar was $40.00 to US$1.00 . So My question HOW DI HELL do anybody expect Burce to reduce 18 yrs of debt in 3yrs?
I thought the case of Mr. Keith Clarke is bad to hell. But now I see this!
