Crime
Recently, Anguilla has noticed a rise in juvenile delinquency and crime. This problem is especially serious since Anguilla is a tourism dependent economy. To curtail the crime rate, the government has taken a few steps. They have established a Probation Department to deal with first time offenders and offer rehabilitation to ensure that they do not become repeat offenders. In the 2007 budget address, they also promised an increase in spending in the police service, prison service and courts to help in the investigation of crimes and prosecution of criminals. The government has promised zero tolerance for criminal activities.
