CRIME PREVENTION SURVEY PILOTS IN SOUFRIÈRE TARGET THE ROOT CAUSES OF CRIME

The Soufriere crime prevention task force has launched a community walkthrough to uncover the root causes of local violence through direct dialogue with residents. The town was recently convulsed by a fresh bout of episodic gun violence, an issue that has plagued the area for several years. This data-driven initiative will provide critical feedback to policymakers to help transform the town’s postcard-perfect image into a safer reality for all.
