The St. Lucia government says it will adopt a zero tolerance approach towards crime on the island following six murders here in as many days.
National Security Minister Victor La Corbiniere said the authorities would also move to clamp down on those who carry out criminal activities on behalf of those “higher up in the chain”.
He said what passes for “gang violence on the streets is informed very often by people higher up that gang chain.

Finally…its begun. After St.L, D/ca O_O?
The Lucian government only now notice they have a crime problem?
Did you read the article??? he is talking about the route of the problem so I really do not get your point, they know they have have a crime problem!! (SMH)
We can loan you the St Lucian People the services of Magistrate Tiyani Behanzin, our country not ready for him yet so we did not renew his contract. Now we cannot afford him and the woman who push him out is leaving, so we now have a serious crime problem
kind of minister we need in domininca .
hey and let me expound …when i say some have no one and no where to turn too….a lot of these individuals have parents…hey did not fall from a tree…………they have no one they can communicate with and share their feelings with
their parents just criticize and expect them to be perfect..while they were far and still is far from perfect…so they need someone who understand …someone they can relate too…..
they go down the wrong path and join gangs
show dem no mercy, do it for ure country. put the brakes on dem.
God Bless my second home. I am Dominican but I just love St. Lucia.
yo what world u all are living in don’t matter what crime will always there u just have to watch your back befor they get u or your kids
You mean there wasn’t a zero tolerance policy in effect perviously ??
react to crimes continue being reactive and not proactive…and keep on letting parents beat their children causing them to become aggressive and violent…………build more jails ….private them some people could become rich ….
they would financially benefit from the increase in prisoner’s
the problem stems from the home
and for those who always mis interpret my words……………….people have choices in life no matter what we all have choices…however some are in circumstances where the chances making the bad decisions in life is increased……
cold blooded murder …i will never defend……rapist i can never defend nor thieves and those who physically abuse others, but most of the prisoners in jail are not in there for violent crimes
gangs? every body need to belong…..some have no where and nobody to turn too….
oops privatise
……”the authorities would also move to clamp down on those who carry out criminal activities on behalf of those “higher up in their chain”.
That is exactly what D/ca need. The biggest criminals sitting in the high places! Bring them down too! It’s time!
