Trinidad and Tobago’s Acting Police Commissioner Stephen Williams has lamented on the crime rate in the twin island republic, stating that the society is a violent one.

“Trinidad and Tobago has become a very violent society. We express violence for the simplest things…,” said Williams in an interview with the Sunday Newsday newspaper.

Since the start of the year, 17 people have been murdered.

The Acting Police Commissioner revealed that despite the record high number of gun seizures – 685 guns for 2015 – the murders continued unabated and proposed what he calls “collective efficacy” where the entire society must come together to deal with crime.

Williams made his comments as the Opposition plans to ask the government about plans to tackle crime when Parliament sits today.
