While they deserve credit for making attempts to detect, combat, and punish criminals don't you feel the crime stoppers slogan, 'report the crime before it is your time", is offensive? What does it mean to,'report the time before it is your time?' Does it mean that once you are a bBahamian and once you reside in the Bahamas you will become an victim of crime and even more so if you don't report crimes you know of?
