Continuity and Development: What’s Next for a Caribbean Criminology?
摘要
This chapter reflects upon the work started by Ken Pryce (1976) and furthered by Maureen Cain (1996) and Wallace (2019). The three aforementioned Caribbean scholars have all called for the development of a Caribbean criminology and to varying degrees have curated scholarly materials on the phenomenon under inquiry. While not entirely focused on the genesis of a Caribbean criminology, this chapter shares information about the beginning of a Caribbean criminology, provides answers to lingering questions from the chapters contained in this book, and details the next steps aimed at moving Caribbean criminology from its current peripheral position to one that is closer to the centre. Importantly, this chapter concludes Volume 1 of this book, incorporates a diverse range of next steps at the policy and academic levels and proffers practical measures for the development, creation, and transference of knowledge on Caribbean criminology as it is difficult for such knowledge to be universalised from one jurisdiction to another.
