The 4th International Conference on Crime and Justice
in the Caribbean will be held February 8-11, 2006
at The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine
Campus, Trinidad and Tobago. The theme of the conference
is “New Challenges in Crime and Justice
– From Research to Policy.” The
conference is being hosted by the Centre for Criminology
and Criminal Justice and the Faculty of Social Sciences
at The University of the West Indies (St. Augustine
Campus) and is intended to bring together scholars
doing research on crime and justice in the Caribbean,
and as well, international colleagues engaged in current
criminological research that might contribute to the
development of the discipline.
There have been three Caribbean conferences
held thus far. The first was held in Barbados (UWI,
Cave Hill Campus) in 1998, with the second and third
