Introduction to Guns, Gun Violence and Gun Homicides: Perspectives from the Caribbean, Global South and Beyond -- Part I: Australia -- Mass shootings and gun control by police: Comparing Australia and the United States -- Part II: The Caribbean -- 'Trends and Patterns for Gun-Homicide in Trinidad and Tobago during the Early Years of the 21st Century: A Data-Driven Analysis -- Gun-Related Violence and Homicides in the Caribbean: Why Isn't there even More? -- The Prevalence of Guns and Gun Related Homicides in the Caribbean -- The Use of Lethal Police Force and Its Consequences for the Mentally Ill and Vulnerable Groups in St. Lucia -- Understanding Haiti's current phenomenon of gang violence and illicit arms trafficking: A view from the lens of vertical-horizontal violence -- The Battle Against the Illicit Gun Trade in Trinidad and Tobago from a Military Perspective -- Past and Present Trends in Gun Violence and Gangs and Their Implications in BELIZE: 2011-2020 -- An Evaluation of Guns, Gun Violence and Gun Homicides in Trinidad and Tobago - 2010 to 2016 -- Part III: Africa and Beyond -- Trends, precipitating factors and control of gun-related violence and suicide in Zimbabwe -- Gun Violence and Homicide in Nigeria and Implications for Ethno-Religious Conflicts -- Intimate Partner Gun-Violence (IPGV) in Zambia -- Use of Force and Gun Violence in Bangladesh: The culture of extra-judicial killings by the law enforcement agencies of Bangladesh -- Killing and letting die: depicting the Brazilian dilemma between police killings and private lethal practices -- Conclusion.

This book provides in-depth coverage of guns, gun violence and gun homicides from a variety of perspectives, including, but not limited to, gender, suicide, peaceology and police (in)action. Reflecting changes in contemporary perceptions as well as desires for scholarship emanating from under-researched areas of the globe, this book addresses the pervasive issue of guns, gun violence and gun homicides. Authored by a wide range of Social Science experts, and premised on the notions of epistemological diversity, inclusivity and knowledge production in the Global South, this book provides comprehensive coverage on the nebulous concern of guns and their destructive force using differing approaches to the same problem, with a focus on prevention/reduction of gun violence. Readers may find the chapters contained in this book to be fascinating, provocative, informative, clearly presented and solution oriented. This book is of special interest to students, criminologists, policymakers, criminal justice system officials and laypersons. It is invaluable to policymakers at differing levels of government who provide advice on the social issue of guns and gun violence in their respective jurisdictions. Wendell C. Wallace is Lecturer in Criminology and Criminal Justice at The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine. He is also an English trained Barrister who practices law in Trinidad and Tobago. Dr. Wallace has over fifteen years of policing experience and lectures at several tertiary institutions in Trinidad and Tobago in the disciplines of Politics, Law, Alternative Dispute Resolution and Criminology and Criminal Justice.
