The big crime down island is bike theft. They're stolen by the dozens painted black, resold and stolen again. But a 120+ man force on a 2x4 island never stops the cycle (no pun intended). There's an ever growing homeless population that has made bicycle theft a thriving business. There are several yards over in Bahamas village where you can find dozens of black bicycles being 'chopped' and resold. The cops never lift a finger. It's a protected racket
burglary muggings. The tourists never come back for trial so why care? Try to file a police report! The make you stand in line outside of the locked station to fill out a form then wait at least an hour to speak to a detective through a bullet proof glass window - he's inside your out in the sun
a very effective way to dissuade citizens from reporting crime and stilling your crime stats
