In this volume and the one that precedes it, Dr Wendell C. Wallace has not only succeeded in bringing together a fascinating collection of papers that illustrate the uniqueness (as well as sharedness) of Caribbean Criminology, he has succeeded in putting Caribbean Criminology very firmly back on the intellectual map. This book deserves to be read by academics and students of Criminology and related disciplines from across the globe. -Professor Kevin Haines, The University of Trinidad and Tobago This volume makes an efficacious contribution to Caribbean research on crime and violence. It provides criminological insights on a range of topics such as paradigms of justice, perspectives on policing and incarceration, the geopolitical context for extradition, and violence reduction strategies. This rich and profound installment will be useful to an international community of researchers, practitioners and policymakers. It also makes a strong case for the role and impact of post-Colonial scholarship. -Dr. Vaughn Crichlow, Associate Dean and Associate Professor, College of Social Work and Criminal Justice, Florida Atlantic University A path-breaking and comprehensive work, Caribbean Perspectives on Criminology and Criminal Justice (Volume 2) comes at a time when societies in the Caribbean region are grappling with a plethora of issues within their criminal justice systems and with crime in all its iterations and when the structure of the justice system on which all of these societies are premised is being challenged to adjust to changes in societal mores. Volume 2 of this edited book adds to the growing body of scientific, empirical, and theoretical literature on criminology and criminal justice in the Caribbean. In a similar vein to Volume 1, this book is a direct response to the call for a Caribbean Criminology, as espoused by Ken Pryce (1976), and is aimed at whittling away the "epistemological coloniality" or the dominance and transfer of knowledge from the Global North to the Global South, more specifically, the Caribbean. This edited book also aims at reducing the "coloniality of knowledge" (Smith, 2012) and thus enhances epistemological diversity in the postcolonial Anglophone Caribbean. Bringing together a broad range of experts, this edited book sheds light on key criminological and criminal justice topics in the Caribbean. This not only brings to the fore socio-legal and criminological issues plaguing the Caribbean, but also proffers suggestions and recommendations aimed at alleviating these concerns. This book is therefore an essential reading for those engaged with Caribbean-or decolonial-Caribbean criminology and criminal justice.
