Despite high crime rates among men in the Caribbean, rising rates
of violence against women in the region, and a significant number
of Caribbean nationals incarcerated abroad due to drug smuggling,
existing research has yet to offer explanations that are tailored
to the unique Caribbean societies and the individuals in them. This
edited volume adds to the existing body of scientific, empirical
and theoretical work on crime (victimization), and criminal justice
in the Caribbean, with a specific focus on impacts of
post-colonialism and gender. To investigate these impacts on a
developing Caribbean criminology, the contributions in this volume
focus on how impacts of post-colonialism, associated racial
stereotypes, and/or gender throughout the Caribbean impact on (a)
types of offending, (b) victimization, and (c) criminal justice
system responses and policies. Bringing together a broad range of
experts, this book sheds light on key criminological topics in the
Caribbean, including victimization, risk factors for offending,
subcultures of violence and particularly gendered violence, and the
role of motherhood within matrifocal societies. It is essential
reading for those engaged with Caribbean - or decolonial -
Criminology and those engaged with comparative and international
studies in crime and justice more generally.
