It can  clearly  be seen that indiscipline has overtaken our society.  It has now become a ‘free for all’ with persons going about and doing as they please with little or no regards as to the rights of others or the rule of law. Persons frequently ask “How has thing gotten this way”? The answer is that often when persons break the law or rule, they  often do not suffer any consequences for it. This has led from  little infractions, to major and glaring disregards for the rule of law. This can be seen, for example, with the type of driving that we see happening daily on the street. The big question is “Now that we are here, how do we fix it?”  There are often cries for tougher sanctions and penalties. This often only creates its own set of problems. Justice dictates that the penalty should fit the crime. As such the penalty should be fair and consistently applied to persons when they are in breach of the law. Once this is done persons will be less inclined to disregard the rule of law. It is of no use making laws where the persons responsible to carrying them out feel that they are unfair. We need to make fair laws and implement them. For example, it is of no use having a ticketing system with point, if drivers can incur tickets without paying the fines or having their drivers licence suspended or disqualified when they have received the stipulated number of points.
To curtail the indiscipline in our society there must be an  educational initiative, communinity engagement, law enforcement and appropiate punishment. Persons should know the benefits of having a disciplined society  and the likelihood that they will be caught and punished when they break the law.. Once this is done, our populace will become more law abiding and the rampant indiscipline will disappear.  Persons are often heard to ask how when the same indiscipline person go abroad that they observe the law and behave differently? It is simply that if they don’t, they will have to face the consequences of their actions so they obey the laws.
The most successful families, teams, institutions and countries are the ones in which there is a high level of discipline. The opposite is also true. The least successful families, teams, institutions and countries are the ones in which there is a low level of discipline. For Jamaica to achieve its’ goals of improving the standard of living and becoming a more prosperous country, discipline must be restored. Without this happening all our efforts to “Make Jamaica, the place of choice to live, work, raise families and do business” will be futile.
A JAP government will make the restoration of discipline to our society one of its top priority. Starting at the lowest level, persons and institutions will be encouraged and given the support to implement and maintain measures designed to lift and maintain a high level of discipline. Where necessary  new laws will be put in place to assist in this effort. Educating the public on their rights and responsibilities will also play a major role in achieving this objective.
