What they need to realize is that this problem must be addressed **holistically**. <br/> It's not just stopping would-be criminals.... it's reforming the justice system so they get the proper punishment for the crimes committed... stopping bail for murderers, etc... <br/> Creating more programs for youth who feel disenfranchised... providing more drug addiction/ substance abuse programs...providing alternative educational solutions for the less academically inclined, more sex education programs in schools to help curb unwanted pregnancies...etc... and the list goes on and on. <br/><br/> The **police force** is just ONE cog in the engine of moving toward a safer and more productive society.
This is exactly why things can't change! <br/> "The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem." If you can't even admit we have a crime problem and that citizens DON'T feel safe, how can we ever improve? <br/> Putting our heads in the sand and saying "well other countries have it worse" doesn't solve anything. I don't live in other countries, I live in NASSAU! <br/>I DON'T feel safe in Nassau.
Hey fishermen... why don't you ask Henfield to go on a fishing trip with you? I'm sure when he gets shot at by Dominican poachers he will be singing a different tune! smh
The police and politicians need to stop this foolish practice of bragging until they have REAL results. I guarantee you NO ONE feels safe in Nassau. <br/> everyone needs to be extra cautious and on high alert especially during the Christmas season. A word to the wise is sufficient!
