Fighting crime requires a mix of strategies
Friday, July 30, 2021
Police data up to Wednesday showed 817 murders across Jamaica since January 1, compared to 760 for the similar period in 2020.
At that rate, come the end of 2021 the number of murders will be much, much higher than the 1,301 reported for the 12-month period last year.
To make matters worse, several traditionally troubled neighbourhoods which were considered stabilised in terms of violent conflicts are again in trouble. Communities along Red Hills Road in the Corporate Area, where we are told at least three people died from gunshot wounds as a result of gang violence last weekend, represent a prime example.
