JA records a further decline in major crimes

[Lazie]

There is more good news concerning the country's crime figures.
Word out of Wednesday's monthly meeting of the National Security Council which is chaired by the Prime Minister, is that the crime rate continues to decline.
The security forces reported a 15% reduction in major crimes.
A breakdown shows that there has been a big drop in the number of murders since the start of the year.
Prime Minister Golding says this downward trend must be maintained.
"Up to Sunday, May 22, the number of murders committed this year (was) down 42%. Per cent may not mean a great deal to people, what is 42% well this means that up to Sunday, May 22, 285 persons less than what were murder last year, had died."

I hope the police force keeps up the good work.

42% year over year is a big, big number, nobody in them right mind can argue with that.

Good to see that it was not a one or two-month thing, look like dem really making steady progress.
