These 4 Caribbean islands are at risk of civil mayhem

A crowd at Falmouth Jamaica…Cruise Law News

Jamaica

Jamaica, unfortunately, holds the title for being one of the most violence-ridden islands.

In 2017, there were a reported 1,616 cases of murder.

There is also a compounded challenge of distrust in law enforcement.  Vigilante justice coupled with violence are two factors that can affect the Jamaican economy – which can translate into a loss of jobs.

Dipping unemployment rates, ineffective police, and less money contributing to the advancement of the island can spell unhappiness among the residents of Jamaica. A head-on solution to the problem is needed to avert any worse reaction from the people.
