Yet, on a per capita basis, some - especially, but not exclusively, in the Caribbean—suffer from daunting levels of homicidal violence. In this episode, ODI Global's Emily and Matt ask whether gang violence is getting worse, and explore how SIDS are investing in young people as one part of the solution.
Featuring:
- Mtima Solwazi - Trinidad’s Roots Foundation on guiding disenfranchised youths away from illicit activities.
- Adam Baird, a leading gang expert who has pioneered a “masculinities” approach to anti-violence interventions throughout Latin America and the Caribbean
- Rivke Jaffe, an Amsterdam-based academic who has written extensively about Jamaica’s “Dons”
- Dylan Kerrigan, who has spent two decades working on myriad community peacebuilding projects across the Port of Spain.
