About this book

This handbook explores crime, deviance and punishment in the Caribbean with a focus on marginalized perspectives from scholars in the Caribbean. It explores the region’s unique cultural context and challenges, particularly the ongoing influence of colonialism. It also covers types of criminal activities and punishment, including contemporary and emerging areas such as cybercrime and white collar crime, as well as discussing victims and victimization, and crime and justice policies. This handbook builds on the growing field of interest in this region to establish a Caribbean Criminology. It speaks to both students and practitioners.

Reviews

A tour de force! The Palgrave Handbook of Caribbean Criminology is an extremely rigorous and multi-faceted examination of crime in the Caribbean. It tackles organised crime, drug trafficking, money laundering, cyber-crime, indiscipline, violence and corruption in the police service, among others. The Handbook also addresses difficult questions, such as corporal punishment in schools, the continued criminalisation of same sex relationships and political violence. Indeed, no stone is left unturned in this volume. It will be the main reference for years to come for academics and policymakers.
