Sport must be treated as more than recreation, but as a frontline weapon against crime. That’s the view of Independent Senator Ryan Forde.
He is calling for the return of the Barbados Defence Force sports programme and believes sport can play a strategic role in youth engagement and community cohesion.
Senator Forde says the police alone cannot tackle the escalating rise in crime.
He adds that Government must play a greater role in helping children transition, noting that the generation of yesterday and that of today have changed.
