  • Golding getting tough?

    Crime bill Thursday, 04 September 2008 The country has been put on notice to expect the implementation of new tough anti-crime measures in another two weeks.

    Minister Bruce Golding has announced that importanttabled in Parliament on Tuesday to tackle the crime scourge, will be enacted by the middle of September.

    The new laws will, among other things, give the policeadditional powers to deal with criminals.

    Mr. Golding has declared that the Government will not back down from its zero approach despite criticism from human rights groups.

    "I understand where they are coming from, but we're not going to put up with this businessof just allowing persons to commit murder and mayhem ... we're going to get tough.

    It is hope Mr. Golding said that the bill will be enacted into law within the next two weeks and thereby strengthen the country's capacity to deal with crime.

    Mr. Golding who was speaking on his monthly radio call-in programme Jamaica House Live Wednesday night said he will be making no apologies about doing everything possible to get rid of criminals.

    In July, he gave a preview of the anti-crime measures which he said were the result of consensus reached at Vale Royal talks between the government and the Opposition People's National Party.

    They include longer detention periods for suspects involved in major crimes and more stringent conditions for bail.

      2 years ago I'd say yes. But ... after hearing how man was sentenced to death and it took the Law Lords a England fi demand the tape from the security camera at the scene to prove the inmate was actually telling the truth when he said he wasn't at the scene.

      Mi hesitant towards the death penalty.

          As Guliani said about Obama last night .. I'm voting present.

          If a Tesha Miller should be put to death ... I'd have no problem with it. Currently, there is a former police officer serving time for fabricating evidence. How many inmates were found guilty based on such evidence? Based on that, I'm not 100% for it.

              We are far from having to rely on that as our primary means of combatting crime.

                  I am very doubtful that the death penalty works as a crime deterrent anyway. I just don't see the evidence.

                  Nonetheless I support it more as a method of administering justice. If you kill innocent people you should be killed.

                          this is a response to my post? it seems irrelevant.


                          btw the vaccum (sic) was not removed.. the elections just changed the colour of the waste receptacle to green.

                            the death penalty is the ultimate deterrent!
