A UWI professor is warning that vigilante justice must be confronted to prevent an escalation of violence in this country.
Professor Corin Bailey, Director of the Center for Criminal Justice and Security at the University of the West Indies remarks follows the country’s latest homicide, where a man was reportedly beaten to death by a group of men following a separate incident in which the victim was alleged to be involved.
Professor Bailey tells Starcom Network news that while several factors may drive people to take justice into their own hands, these acts cannot go unchecked and must carry consequences.
He offered solutions to discourage people from taking the law into their own hands.
