Security challenges pose significant hardship for citizens of
Caribbean nations. Public safety is threatened by high rates of
crime - especially violent crime - in much of the region, the
plague of the illicit drug trade, transnational organized crime,
gangs, the current global proliferation of crimes of terrorism and
related violent extremism and radicalization. The situation
diminishes morale among the youth, their education and their
future, and operates as a major push factor. Yet, surprisingly,
there has been a scarcity of scholarly work that addresses these
conditions. This interdisciplinary volume succinctly responds to
the gap in criminological and security studies on the Caribbean by
drawing attention to the understudied nexus of crime, violence, and
security that is so pervasive in the region, and the ways in which
underdevelopment re/creates environments for insecurity. The book
is organized in three parts: Part one encompasses
conceptualizations of crime, violence and punishment. Part two
takes up country cases on crime and security. Part three addresses
issues of regional security, both public and private. This timely
volume will be valuable reading for scholars, students,
practitioners and policy makers who share a critical interest in
the scope, impact, and inter-relationality of crime, violence, and
in/security in the region.
