Crim­i­nol­o­gist Dr Randy Seep­er­sad says al­leged threats against Gov­ern­ment min­is­ters show the crim­i­nal el­e­ments sense a re­al threat from the cur­rent ad­min­is­tra­tion.

“The Gov­ern­ment is on the right track, and the Gov­ern­ment needs to stick to its guns. They need to do what the State needs to do be­cause this kind of de­ci­sive ac­tion is ac­tu­al­ly nec­es­sary. If we just let things slide and we turn a blind eye to what is hap­pen­ing with the crim­i­nal el­e­ment, even­tu­al­ly it’s go­ing to take over, and we have seen where Ja­maica has reached. If we take a more ex­treme ex­am­ple, we’ve seen where Haiti has reached, and we re­al­ly don’t want Trinidad and To­ba­go to reach that lev­el.”
