Hold onto your hat, that not an athletic competition, but the approximate number of criminal gangs in the country.
Jamaica’s gang problem shows no sign of abating with some 389 criminal organisations operating in the country up to the end of 2019, and presenting a “clear and present danger” to the society, according to the Minister of National Security, Dr Horace Chang.
Of that number, 250 were found to be active, Chang said. He gave the update in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, while presenting the report of the Joint Select Committee on the Criminal Justice (Suppression of Criminal Organisations) Act, more commonly referred to as the anti-gang legislation.
