  1. Even though the gun is not the only way to take a life, reduction of guns coming into the island has to be the first priority.

  2. Companies need to start apprenticeship programmes. Government need to start engaging these companies and give then incentives to so so.

    1. Way to go ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿค๐Ÿค.
      In some countries, one which comes to mind is Germany they have a huge apprenticeship programs with companies.

    1. This ignoramus! Yow. Sorry I expect you to have common sense but even that isnโ€™t common. ๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜’

    2. @Coz J Can you imagine some person with a license firearm that he can’t even secure, his very home is inadequate, in the community where he lives he can’t be targeted for his own firearm by criminals.
      Most of our investments towards crime must be in homes, in schools skills training, education and economic development, the government is spending 176 billion on mainly the security side, where is the infrastructure investments for those countless informal settlements.

  3. Yet still people worry bout virus weh yo have a 90% recovery rate. Right now mi fraid a gun shoot than a damn virus.

    1. Soo easily explained ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ’ฏ and the government ought to spend how many MILLIONS on vaccine promotions and the WEAK people them’ naah realize this.

    2. @reel gena real yute I think the Jamaican government are doing what they think will keep their American Visa valid , and what will help to maintain tourism income.

    1. Why would they do that? They want to keep the people dependent.
      The trickle down economy is definitely a factor.

  4. The minister said yesterday sometimes one JCF Detective is assigned up to 13 cases, while in countries where there are few murders 13 Detectives are assigned to one murder. So that means we are producing too many criminals and not enough police.

  5. Facts:
    Only Light skin, half Chinese and Chinese in powerful position in Jamaica.
    Who are putting the these people in position?

    1. Ignorance Black Jamaicans who don’t know Jamaica history and World history. Some of them thinks that bleaching and praying are the solutions for their economical and social struggles

    1. @Genchfa Manfunzi youโ€™re the one who has alluded to secret baggage in his file so you are the one who needs to share what you have read. I am holding you accountable people need to stop stating random things as if theyโ€™re facts. Back up your talk. You alluded to having seen it

    2. @Latoya T Miss Diva Supplies Thousands of Jamaicans who are into these stuff, have read it , I am not the only one, there is a Vloggers name Wayne loansome he speaks about these issues on his vlog on a regular basis, look him up.

    3. @Latoya T Miss Diva Supplies You need to hold the Political mob accountable for their corrupt actions and politics.

    4. @Genchfa Manfunzi so youโ€™re basically just an Internet troll then? Yeah thatโ€™s what I thought smh

    5. @Latoya T Miss Diva Supplies If you are party of the political mob or a beneficiary of the scarce benefits and spoils politics, you have a lot of corrupt politicians in both parties you can reference to, there is a certain Western St. Thomas MP and you have the Chairman of the opposition party, I don’t really know which side of the fence you are on.

    1. I agree with u…I said it all the time…all the crimes that happened in JAMAICA…an don’t comes to trial that is a police job!!

  6. Why not focus on the family? Start with the family. Build and strengthen the family and the communities and we might make some head way. Then attack the wealth discrepancies that exist in our society. At least giving individuals a level playfield. After graduating High School and University what is there for persons to strive for? Other than to become a teacher, police or soldier? What development or creative skills are we honing to set us apart from others? We are always playing catch up and it begs the question as to why?

  7. Government fail time for some DEA and FBI training… Costom fail all gun come through air ship and water… Community center are needed in 14 parish.. Education and trade program needed in the prison system. Jamaica prison system raising badder criminal…. Security forces need cleaning out

  8. Proper housing are critical to crime prevention, being poor is a crime in its self. So until you give people hope that they can live a decent life in Jamaica you will never succeed in the battle against crime. The big yard ting need to cut out, tear down the zink fences and start developing the communities, put in proper infrastructure for our children and stop come pon tv come chat rubbish
