Jamaica\'s Opposition leader, Mrs Simpson-Miller says all sectors of the society should also hold talks with the security forces on the matter.



The Opposition Leader says crime-fighting is the responsibility of every Jamaican and not just the government or the security forces.



She has also expressed concern about the number of murders particularly those involving women.



Between January 1 and September 30 this year, 112 women and 56 children were killed.



Mrs. Simpson-Miller says the high level of crime especially against children, is robbing Jamaica of some of its future leaders.



She was speaking at a Rotary Club function today.
