In the early 1990s the Belize Defence Force (BDF) was instructed to
provide manpower support to the Belize Police Department's (BPD)
crime control efforts in Belize City. This resulted in a drastic
reduction in criminal activity; followed by a gradual resurgence
that surpassed the pre-combined era, both in quantity and severity.
This study explores the diminishing crime control effect of BPD and
the BDF in Belize City with a view to determine whether the BDF
should continue to provide manpower support to the BPD. The
research methodology is a qualitative narrative with a descriptive
research design that embodies theory development from a
phenomenological approach. The data collection strategy is a
triangulation of a survey, interviews, and opinion polls. The
research concludes that not only is the protracted military
manpower support to the BPD an ineffective one, but it is also a
contributing factor to the quantity and severity of crimes being
committed in Belize; as well as the attrition of the crime control
competency of both organizations. Findings of the study were
applied to the development of a theory and an accompanying model,
titled, the Urban Crime Control Diminish Effect Theory.
