Crime & Punishment

Luckily for all of us, Anguilla is a place of low crime. However, as part of a world besieged by every vice imaginable, and in fact to a great extent unimaginable, we do not expect our little island to continue as it is today. There are already uncomfortable signs that changing times and behavioural patterns, as well as certain influences, are resulting in a steady increase in the crime rate and something ought to be done to keep the situation under control. There seems to be a mushrooming of the number of young people appearing before the Magistrate’s Court week after week. This is perhaps a matter of much concern because a small island like Anguilla needs well-disciplined youth to help shape our future and to fulfill our ideal dreams.
