They have certainly caught up to us in this regard.
Very interesting that thier murder rate has soared at the same time thier per capita income has increased to 16K while JAs is somewhere below 4K. But thier crime problem does seem to be even more concentrated than ours ( 60 percent of the murders in 7 police districts) so I am guessing that in those areas the level of poverty and general social decay is as low as it is in our inner cities.
Would be good to hear from Exile and PeterR on this."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass -
The article just touched on some of the basic issues. They focussed more on the bottom-users, the local area Dons and working class people. The ones not mentioned..or just barely is the so-called Mr. Bigs. They are KNOWN. Until they become no longer untouchable - it will not stop.
Poverty in TT is hard to define...most of urban folk have FREE housing or peppercornn rent thats not paid...they get food stamps or equivalent, plus the contract labour work which the Gov. see as unemployment benefits or social welfare. Some of the so-called 'bad' areas are like typical Jamaican areas...not like the Garisions or our inner cities....maybe one or 2...but law abiding citizens live side by side with the criminal element...
