JFJ: SOE Not an Effective Crime-Fighting Strategy

Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) says the States of Public Emergency (SOPE) declared across seven parishes does not appear to be the most successful strategy for tackling crime.

The recent murders in St. James, have helped to shatter that confidence. Watch the report here:
