The numbers don't lie, or, do they?
A total of 49,546 recorded murders committed by Jamaicans against Jamaicans in 63 years of independence.
That’s a mind-blowing, peacetime record of uncivilized madness. Not even the wildest animals on earth have a tally like this.
Wake up and live in Jamaica. Love one another; put away the guns and knives.
Stop the glorification of murder in song or other entertainment packages.
Could it be because the appropriate punishment of death is on hold?
Peace and Love... big up Jamaica!
This article was contributed by Bark Di Trute's writer Michael Spence. Vernon Derby compiled and presented the statistics.
NB:
- There will be slight variations in some figures because averages for some data for the year were taken to have 365 days when some years are leap years, and they have 366 days.
- Raw data was extracted from the Jamaica Constabulary Force page.
- Periods served were extracted from the Internet from various sites.
- All information is considered based on a year, so if a PM served for two months, the murders for the year are apportioned for that period, and the information is presented in the context of a year.
- Statistics were compiled by Vernon Derby,
- The population of Jamaica is approximately 2.8 million people.

Poor educational system, lack of compulsory education, lack of community development and integration, display of blatant political corruption, poor social programs and the lack of genuine care and desire for the upliftment for ALL Jamaicans by our civil servants and the wider society; that result is not surprising!
ReplyDeleteWe have to genuinely care for each other and demand accountability and respect from the ‘political elite’ (that’s how they see themselves) otherwise we will continue down this slippery slope to our complete demise/destruction.

I have long said that many Jamaicans underestimated the social impact of the destruction of 44,000 businesses during the high interest rate/FINSAC era. If you note this period under Mr. Patterson where murders more than doubled what it was for the previous period. The productive economy could barely function under the weight of the high interest rate environment and it was more profitable to invest in paper. With jobs diminishing, the underground economy filled the gap. With a growing underground economy, you are more likely to have crime - as is now the case with lottery scamming.
