JAMAICA’S crime prevention plan should begin in the homes where children learn attitudes and values which will determine how they behave in the wider society, according to Jahazeil.

The singjay’s comments come against the background of the stabbing death of a Kingston Technical High School female student by another female student at that institution.

According to a police report, about 2:30 pm on September 29, 2022 Campbell and a schoolmate got into an argument that became physical. Both girls received stab wounds. Campbell was pronounced dead upon arrival Kingston Public Hospital. The other student has since been charged with murder.

According to Jahazeil, “We have to fix the problem, and everybody needs to be involved. It seems that our homes are poor examples of [a] stable family structure. These are the same homes where domestic violence is rampant; where the child grows up seeing father physically abusing mother and other negative scenes such as the uncontrolled use of expletives, which greatly impact on their lives.”

Jahazeil is recommending that the Government conducts ongoing community seminars to attract parents who must be taught to solve problems through dialogue, not violence.

Jahazeil’s latest project is the soon-to-be released four-track EP titled Message. The songs included are Journey, Suicide, Born Star, and Introduction featuring Bandit the Rapper.

Born in Kingston, Jahazeil Myrie is the son of Grammy-winning artiste Buju Banton. He attended Liberty Academy in Kingston.

He released his first song No More — produced by his sibling Markus Myrie on his own Marcus Production label — in 2016. His other songs include Best of Me, At My Door featuring Spragga Benz, and Hold On produced by Delly Ranx.
