Dames: Murder spates not unusual
Minister of National Security Marvin Dames said yesterday some of the six murders that took place in the first week of the new year were domestic-related.
“You’re going to see from time to time periods where you have incidents of crime or you may have a spate [where] today you have a murder, tomorrow you have a murder,” Dames told reporters.
“The police are learning from those experiences in terms of, ‘how do you adjust your enforcement strategies?’”
He continued, “Although I would say that of those matters over the last few days, you had quite a number of them that were domestic-related. And so, we know that we have to work in that area.”
No evidence to say crime decrease was the result of COVID restrictions, Dames says Marvin Dames.
While noting that COVID-19 restrictions may have had “some impact” on a decrease in crime in The Bahamas, Minister of National Security Marvin Dames said that there is no evidence to conclusively say that the downward trend is the result of those restrictions.
“You need research and we don’t have any empirical data to say either way,” Dames told
The Nassau Guardian.
“My guess is that there may have been some impact. We’re not totally locked down. I mean, there was a point sometime earlier in the year when we were locked down but now we’re not totally locked down. For the most part, we haven’t been totally locked down.
