牙买加总理敦促教会与暴力作斗争, 在谋杀率创下31年最低点后, Jamaica's PM urges churches to fight violence with mentorship after murder rate hit 31-year low.

安德鲁·霍尔内斯总理敦促牙买加教会积极打击暴力行为,提供咨询、辅导和帮派转移方案。 2025年,谋杀案件为31年之低——2025年超过700起,接近10万分之15的区域平均水平。 Prime Minister Andrew Holness urged Jamaican churches to actively combat violence by offering counseling, mentorship, and gang diversion programs, following a 31-year low in murders—fewer than 700 in 2025, with the rate near the regional average of 15 per 100,000. 他在国家祈祷日发言时强调,减少犯罪不仅需要维持治安,还需要社区参与、以家庭为中心的政策和精神支持,以引导面临风险的青年远离帮派和暴力。 Speaking at the National Day of Prayer, he emphasized that reducing crime requires more than policing, calling for community engagement, family-centered policies, and spiritual support to steer at-risk youth away from gangs and violence.
