The climate of terror besetting our jewel shows no sign of letting up as day after day we hear increasingly alarming news of young men being killed, homes being burglarized and business places being robbed. What is even more alarming is that these incidents are now happening in broad daylight and in the full view of many witnesses. There was a time when there was safety in numbers and when folks could feel secure at least in the confines of their homes; but not anymore. These brazen criminals invade even the sanctuary of the best fortified residences and as the Prime Minister of Belize recently related, it is a “problem that so far is defeating us.”
