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.”
