EDITORIAL: Questions on security and regional crime
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Nation News - Of all the pressing matters to be addressed by CARIC0M Heads of Government at their Port-of-Spain Summit later this week, crime and security will undoubtedly command special attention, either in a caucus or regular session.
Regional and international institutions and agencies are now increasingly lamenting the negative effects that endemic crime are having on initiatives for economic development with growth and jobs creation. There is also the related factor of organized crimes undermining efforts to improve the quality of governance.
Since, therefore, crime/security is one of the major pillars of CARICOM, it is reasonable to presume that when the Prime Ministerial Sub-committee dealing with such matters meets during the summit, time would be taken to address a particular public warning that came last week from the acting executive director of the Community’s Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS), Francis Forbes.
