Two highly rated Jamaican criminologists have thrown cold water on the Government’s latest gun amnesty initiative and are calling for a rethink of the current strategies employed by the security forces, if Jamaica is to see a reduction in serious crimes any time soon. The national firearm recovery reward programme, ‘Stop the Killing … Get the Guns’, which is being managed by the Ministry of National Security, doles out $150,000 for information leading to the recovery of high-powered rifles and machine guns; $100,000 for automatic or semi-automatic pistols and shotguns; and $75,000 for revolvers. According to Dennis Brooks, senior communication strategist in the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), 560 illegal guns have been recovered across the 19 police divisions between January 1 and November 28, 2020, an 11 per cent decline to the 620 seized over the corresponding period last year.
