Sobre IBD

JAMAICA-1,600 murders a year-200 gangs in activity-the third most dangerous country in the world in 2012! Crime down there is closely linked to political corruption, that’s why it is so hard to fight it. The author was granted the rare authorization to follow some police patrols in the most volatile areas; he also met several gang leaders (Dons), including one who was murdered a few weeks later, and he gives a dreadful insight into the Jamaican society at large. Thibault Ehrengardt is the former chief editor of Natty Dread Magazine, and the current head of DREAD Editions; he’s written several books about Jamaica.www.jamaica-insula.com
