Fuelling the Development of a Caribbean Criminology, Volume I

This two-volume set provides insights not only into issues of criminology, but also criminal justice issues that are generally not at the forefront of Caribbean scholarship, for example, remand detention and the Caribbean Court of Justice. This volume focusses on crime, crime trends and criminal justice reform whereas volume II focusses on intersectionality, justice, and vulnerable populations. Using a diverse approach, and tackling topics including, food fraud, human trafficking, gender-based and domestic violence, climate change, and agro-terrorism, these books fill an existing lacuna in the context of specific issues plaguing Caribbean criminological and justice landscapes in the region.

Offers fresh insight into often unexplored issues of criminology and criminal justice in the Caribbean Uses a diverse approach to fill a gap in scholarship pertaining to criminal justice and criminology in the Caribbean Explores topics including remand detention, the Caribbean Court of Justice, and pretrial detention
