President David Granger on Saturday said interpersonal violence has become a public security epidemic, characterising it as the most vicious, virulent crime in the country.

“Nowhere is the impact more severe than on the most vulnerable members of society – children, women and youth,” he said, adding that family life is not immune to the public displays of hooliganism.

The President was speaking at the Family Ministries Celebration held at the Central Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Church Street, Georgetown.
