Dr. Chang notes that Jamaica, other countries in the Caribbean, and members of the Guiana Shield face similar threats of organized crime coordinated across national borders. Dr. Chang said it is critical to leverage technology in disrupting organised criminal networks and points out that cybercrime is an emerging security threat coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
