Jamaican voters handed Prime Minister Andrew Holness a third term in office on Thursday. While he has earned praise for dramatically lowering the country’s homicide rate with a tough-on-crime approach, analyst Rosalea Hamilton told The World’s Host Carolyn Beeler that critics are concerned about the populist politician’s track record on civil liberties and the economy.
