If not the drugs a gun trade will continue to grow at a fast rate, and the Guyana security force is not equipt to cambat the fast growing crime rate.( that prvention #1) .when there a Lack of jobs or employments people tends to look for some income to provide for their family or to meet they basic needs.(in the field of crime they are always vecancy) If one can't get a job he feels as though he need to steal or rob to servive.(to rob you need a gun, to difend whats yours you need a gun)so theirs a dramatic increase in the use of firearm. I think enough is not being done done by the goverment to control and lower the crime rate, epecially in the most affected areas.

Yes there is a serious problem and you have righly bring the problem in the public domain. Three murders per week is unacceptable and the comments by the head of the Criminal Investigation Department is very worrying. My question to him what crime prevention measures the police have in place to reduce the level of crime? The police is responsible for public safety and if the police cannot gaurantee the safety of citzens then we have a serious problem. Your borders must be police and how it is being done must be review.The areas which are not police the government of the day must implement measures to secure the borders. I know there are financial problems but it must be done. Citizens do mind if they are tax so long they see results that is reduction in crime therefore tax the citizens to pay the salaries of the border police. What is the punishment for the carrying of illegal firearms on conviction? The legislation in respect to illegal firearms must be tough and it is Parliament to institute the necessary legislation. The laws must be seen as a deterrant. I have written in another paper within the region that the police and government cannot do all to reduce crime it is up to the citizens to assist. The number of people who are chargew by the police for assisting criminals tells the whole story. Furthermore, when people are unable to get work and they are being supported by the criminal element then they will turn a blind eye. Mr Editior to be fair to the Minister, Security Management is a science and you must be trained in the discipline in order the implement crime prevention measures. My advise is that the Minister should seek assistant and the press have a social responsibility in helping to reduce crime. Finally we must go back to the three crime prevention measures in reducing crime which are situational crime prevention, social crime prevention and teritary crime prevention. Furthermore, for the measures to be successful all three must work togather. If that is done we will see a reduction of crime and public safety will improve.
