Offers a timely contribution covering a range of cutting-edge
empirical research chapters from talented academics around the
globe. Given the range of chapters from academics around the world,
sales are to be expected in a range of countries in the Global
South. Challenges the dominance of northern theories in policing
and the intellectual exclusion of the experiences of most of the
world's population relegated to the margins, therefore contributing
to the growing movement of a Southern Criminology. The material is
timely and is likely to have a significant shelf-life, given the
importance and momentum the debate around southern theories has
gained. This is a unique book with no direct comparisons, and is a
compelling contribution to the field of policing studies. Since
some of the problems described in the chapters are of long-standing
and unlikely to be addressed soon, patriarchy or influence of
religion, the shelf life should be long.

This book examines questions about the changing nature of security
and insecurity in Pacific Island Countries (PICs). Previous
discussions of security in the Pacific region have been largely
determined by the geopolitical interests of the Global North. This
volume instead attempts to centre PICs' security interests by
focussing on the role of organisational culture, power dynamics and
gender in (in)security processes and outcomes. Mapping Security in
the Pacific underscores the multidimensional nature of security,
its relationship to local, international, organisational and
cultural dynamics, the resistances engendered through various forms
of insecurities, and innovative efforts to negotiate gender,
context and organisational culture in reducing insecurity and
enhancing justice. Covering the Pacific region widely, the volume
brings forth context-specific analyses at micro-, meso- and
macro-levels, allowing us to examine the interconnections between
security, crime and justice, and point to the issues raised for
crime and justice studies by environmental insecurity. In doing so,
it opens up opportunities to rethink scholarly and policy frames
related to security/insecurity about the Pacific. Written in a
clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and
scholars in criminology, sociology, cultural studies, social theory
and those interested in learning about the Pacific region and
different aspects of security.
Recognising that graduate supervisory practice is not an abstracted
academic pursuit, but an activity that is subjectively bounded by
content and context, impacted by the experiences and beliefs of
supervisee and supervisor, this text explores the unique dynamics
of graduate supervision in the Global South, as perceived and
experienced by students and academics within those same contexts.
Bringing together contributions which reflect a rich diversity of
perspectives on supervisory practices at regional universities in
the Caribbean and South Pacific, Graduate Research Supervision in
the Developing World explores how supervisors navigate unscripted
supervisory terrain; contextualise supervisory best practices;
establish roles and relationships, and work to understand
supervisees' needs. By highlighting the effect on graduate
supervision of complex sociocultural interplay and the relationship
between learning environments and student success, contributors
look to locate best practices through analyses of stories of
success and failure. As the contributors demonstrate, there is a
need to restructure the standardised operation of graduate
supervision across diverse faculties. This text will be of great
interest to graduate supervisors and their supervisees as well as
scholars in the fields of continuing professional development and
higher education, in international and comparative education and
Sociology of Education.
Postcolonial legacies continue to impact upon the Global South and
this edited collection examines their influence on systems of
policing, security management and social ordering. Expanding the
Southern Criminology agenda, the book critically examines social
harms, violence and war crimes, human rights abuses, environmental
degradation and the criminalization of protest. The book asks how
current states of policing came about, their consequences and whose
interests they continue to serve through vivid international case
studies, including prison struggles in Latin America and the misuse
of military force. Challenging current criminological thinking on
the Global South, the book considers how police and state overreach
can undermine security and perpetuate racism and social conflict.
Exploring graduate supervision from a constructivist standpoint,
this book offers an original look at the graduate supervisory
practices and pedagogies at The University of the West Indies and
The University of the South Pacific. Highlighting the ad hoc nature
of graduate research supervision and the problems associated with
their implementation, this volume examines the impact that
unformalized supervisory arrangements have on both the students and
their supervisors at these tertiary institutions, and draws
connections to institutions in other parts of the developing world.
This book examines communication between police and residents of a
designated crime 'hotspot' community in the Global South. It looks
at communicative realities within a marginalised community in the
twin island republic of Trinidad and Tobago and explores how police
and the individuals that they police purposefully assign categories
to each other before, during and after interactions. It also
examines the relations between the police and the community and how
power is manifested through authored or assigned labels, stigmas
and stereotypes. Overall, it suggests alternative strategies to
address problematic police and community relations and provides
another standpoint from which communicative redress between police
and residents of marginalized communities in the Global South can
be approached.

This open access book brings together insights into Pacific
policing, conceptualising policing broadly as order maintenance
involving the actions of multiple local, regional and international
actors with sometimes competing and conflicting agendas. A complex
and multifaceted endeavour, scholarship on this topic is relatively
scarce and widely dispersed across diverse sources. It examines how
Pacific policing is shaped by changing state-society relations in
different national contexts and ongoing processes of globalisation.
Particular attention is given to the plural character of Pacific
policing, profound challenges of gender equity, changing dynamics
of crime, and the prominence of transnational policing in resource
and capacity constrained domestic environments. The authors draw on
examples from across the Pacific islands to provide a nuanced and
contextualised account of policing in this socially diverse and
rapidly transforming region.
