The Prime Minister says he senses that Jamaicans are ready for strong measures to cauterize the crime spike.
He says any such measures will have regard for human rights.

Meanwhile, Opposition Spokesman on National Security, Peter Bunting, says while some of the Prime Minister’s comments on crime are welcome, he has concerns about talk of draconian legislation.

Mr. Bunting says the Prime Minister should review the performance of National Security Minister, Robert Montague.
