The Jamaican Crime Scene: A Perspective by Bernard Headley
In The Jamaican Crime Scene: A Perspective, Bernard Headley explores the impact of the island’s stormy past on its modern-day inhabitants and emigrants as he addresses the tough issue of crime among the people of his home country. Headley’s perspective is both compassionate and clear-headed. He recognizes that Jamaica’s turbulent history—which has included the servitude of plantation slavery, colonial subjugation to the British crown, and economic dependence on its powerful neighbors—has had a profound impact on the Jamaican people. More than simply a theory of where the violence originated, Headley’s vision is a call for action to end it. He enumerates the steps he feels must be taken to move Jamaica from its violent past into a peaceful future.
