about the lawlessness in your area
Answers
Answer:
We live in a society that is awash with laws, but with a laxity of effective enforcement. Because of this laxity in enforcing the law, it breeds gross indiscipline amongst the citizens which oftentimes results in tragedy.
The seeming normalisation of lawlessness that obtains is not confined to only one sector of our society. It is on the streets, in our communities and urban areas where it is perpetrated by ordinary citizens, as well as corrupt practices among the elites and our leaders. Little do we hear about government officials being sent to prison when they breach the public’s trust. Murder and mayhem which are perpetrated by the heartless criminals is the most frightening of all the atrocities that overwhelms us. In recent months there have been almost daily reports of at least one person being murdered or injured as a result of domestic disputes, anger, reprisals, or disagreements attributed to lotto scamming. So horrifying has this crime situation become that one could randomly lose his life by the calculated acts of criminals; God forbid, if one is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Lawlessness extends to the conduct of some motorists. They often are impatient, discourteous and have no regard for life or for the rules of the road. The result: At least 336 people have been killed on the roads so far this year. Today, there are people who are afraid to use the roads due to the offensive conduct of some drivers.
The vast majority of crimes has shifted to the western section of the island. According to the latest Jamaica Constabulary Force statistics, there are at least 1,210 people killed so far this year, and this is expected to climb by year-end. St. James, Westmoreland and St Catherine accounts for the most murders. All these atrocities occur because of the inadequate resources, inefficiency and the lack of collective will of the Government and citizens alike in instilling law and order. This wanton disorder needs curtailing and these barefaced criminals must be taught a lesson and suffer long and harsh prison sentences for their evil deeds. Unless we update and strengthen the outdated laws, and put more teeth into enforcing them to restore order post haste, then lawlessness will become the standard of our society.
