🎙️Guns, Gangs, and Governance: The Caribbean's Crime Crisis

Guns, Gangs & Governance – The Caribbean's Crime Crisis

The Caribbean is facing a rising tide of violence, fueled by illegal firearms, organized crime, and failing institutions. In this hard-hitting episode of Caribbean Tea, we tackle the region’s deepening crime crisis — one that threatens not only public safety but the very foundations of governance and justice.

Joining the discussion are three leading voices in Caribbean security and public affairs:
🔹 Paul Slowe – Retired Assistant Commissioner of Police (Guyana)
🔹 Professor Ivelaw Griffith – Security & governance expert
🔹 Gary Griffith – Former Commissioner of Police (Trinidad & Tobago)

Together, they unpack:
• The root causes of rising gun violence
• The breakdown of institutional trust
• Political interference and accountability gaps
• What meaningful reform must look like

This is more than a crime story — it's a governance wake-up call. Tune in and explore the urgent questions that Caribbean societies must confront.
