The work examines the extent and sources of police ineffectiveness in controlling crime. It assesses the quality of justice, and declining public confidence in the criminal justice system. Police reform efforts, as well as sources of cynicism among members of the force, are analysed.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study of policing and citizen-state relations is especially relevant to the tourism-dependent countries of the Caribbean amid growing recognition of the negative impact of high rates of violent crime on these economies. This book will be much valued by students of criminology and criminal justice, especially those with an interest in the Caribbean, as well as the general reader who is concerned with issues of crime and policing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Harriott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9766400768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789766400767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of the West Indies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.86h x 6.02w x 0.81d","brand":"Anthony Harriott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44201979478271,"sku":"9789766400767","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44f5a1ba-6a27-4586-a414-1c96cec2b290.jpg?v=1691492532","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/police-and-crime-control-in-anthony-harriott-9789766400767","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
