IN ONE fell swoop National Security Minister Martin Joseph swept all blame for there being 79,989 unsolved serious crimes, including murder, kidnapping, rape and robbery with aggravation, in the six-year period 2002-2007 on to the broad shoulders of Police Commissioner Trevor Paul.
Eh? Am I reading those figures right? 11 short of EIGHTY THOUSAND? In SIX YEARS? The crime statistics from 2002-2007 from the Police Service’s Crime and Problem Analysis (CAPA) department and were revealed in Parliament by Ramesh Maharaj.
80,000 unsolved serious crimes in 6 years. Makes me wonder now how many non-serious crimes are still unsolved, (and as an aside, how many were committed by dunceys and are being 'protected' by their colleagues).
...murders had risen by 40 per cent; the detection rates was less than ten per cent and the conviction rate of those charged was less than one per cent.
I'd be worried if I read of statistics that show less than 10,000 serious crimes in those 6 years, but 80,000? My mind still reels from that figure! I find it difficult to even comprehend, but accept it I must, as being true. The police themselves provided it. I wonder if the department providing these numbers feels any shame, (or even whether any dunceys feel shame) over the appalling picture of incompetence this paints.
