Tips for the Summer from the Jamaica Constabulary Force

Media notice:
The JCF is seeking the assistance of the media in promulgating rape safety tips.

We are approaching the start of the summer holidays. This is the time when most children and teenagers are either at home or are engaged in numerous activities which require them to be on the streets more often than they would be when in schools.

Analysis over the years indicates that during the summer holidays, there is an increase in the number of sexual offences perpetrated against children and teenagers. Therefore, during this period, it is necessary to promulgate certain safety tips to the general public.

Rape and carnal abuse are heinous crimes which cause untold hardship to victims. Please assist by increasing the level of awareness.
