Headlines (00:00-00:19) 2. This special edition focuses on the high level of violent crimes in Jamaica. Since the mid 1960’s Jamaica has become an increasingly violent society and the trend continues thirty years later with a murder rate of three hundred and fifty persons between January to August 1990. The report explores violence connected with political tribalism, territorial gang warfare, drug abuse, harsh economic conditions, the influence of political parties, the isolation of social classes, the role of the private sector, an ineffective legal system and a devaluation in the value of life. Interviews with Police Commissioner Herman Ricketts, former member of Parliament Earl Spencer, Vice Chairman of Jamaica’s Council of Human Rights Richard Small, writer Mervyn Morris, psychologist Aggrey Irons and a community leader in Kingston are featured (00:20-14:52) 2014-03-13T19:39:11Z 2014-03-13T19:39:11Z 1990-08-17 Recording, oral CAR0560 http://hdl.handle.net/2139/34508 en The BBC Caribbean Archives Collection 1988 - 2011 Copyright British Broadcasting Corporation Access to this collection is available on site at the Main Library, Mona Campus (main.library@uwimona.edu.jm), Jamaica and The Alma Jordan Library (wimail@sta.uwi.edu), St. Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago.
