How does Jamaica plan to solve it’s crime problem

  1. Devine Intervention
  2. Peace walks thorough the communities
  3. Asking for the community support.

In other places in the world crime are solved and reduced by at least one of the methods above , the other two I rarely hear form part of that strategy. We cannot solve any problem unless we understand the genesis of that problem.

Does Jamaicans and specifically our leaders understand the genesis of this crime monster. A resounding YES.

Then why have they done very little to solve it ?

Answer 1: The Jamaican people have not forced them to act

Answer 2: There is no political will to solve it.

Our crime problem is NOT one of policing , no sir that is the BS they try to sell you the public, it’s a straight political one facilitated by a lazy people and largely corrupt population, but even that later can be addressed some what by the former.

Let’s explore a couple of question.

  1. Why do we continue to have garrisons
  2. Why are some folks outside the law ie untouchables.
  3. Why don’t we have the full compliments of cops that we need?
  4. Why don’t our cops have most of if not all the resources they need, since crime is our biggest problem?

Don’t tell that for 3 and 4  it is a  lack of funding, again that is what they would want for you to believe and here is why.

How many persons in Jamaica thought JEEP would not get off the ground because we had no money to “give sway’?

Now, are you aware of how much money did the GOJ “find” for JEEP and  continue to “find” for JEEP.

If the GOJ wants something to happen, they will make it happen.

1 & 2 are straight political issues.

So when all is said and done, our biggest problem today is NOT afforded the attention it needs from our leaders, making the crime problem in Jamaica is a POLITICAL ONE, facilitated by a population that appears not to believe in accountability especially if they benefit from the existing system.

  1. Did anyone see the latest robocop movie , the method used by Alex Murphy to find his targets are not as far fetched as they might seem.If every light post and building were equipped with CCTV along with stop lights homes etc criminals would not be rampantly walking the streets. I am sure if the appropriate software with voice and face recognition were incorporated along with night and low light programs ? Infrared I would only be a matter of time before criminals would be running scared

  2. I do believe we have the capacity to solve this crime issue and looking to just the NS minister is not the way to solve this.
