The data shows that under the UWP, efforts to combat violent crime had seen some success, particularly with the drop in 2018, although challenges persisted. In contrast, the increase in homicides during the SLP’s tenure points to rising concerns over the effectiveness of the current administration’s crime prevention policies. The sustained rate of over 70 homicides per year under the SLP highlights the urgency for stronger interventions and reforms to address this troubling trend.
This comparison underscores the need for more robust crime prevention strategies, increased law enforcement resources, and greater community involvement to reverse these worrying statistics. The public’s demand for action grows stronger as homicide rates remain alarmingly high under the current administration.
