Cuba discovers crime
Article Abstract:
Rising crime in Cuba has led to fear, though crime levels are relatively low. Fidel Castro has announced tough measures, such as long sentences. There are allegations that the police in Havana, Cuba, take bribes and will not otherwise investigate crimes, while criminals do not risk being caught if they pay bribes. The number of police has increased but this may not solve the problem.
