AN EXAMINATION OF BARBADOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE 1969-1978.
Creator

Abstract/Description
The small island of Barbados, easternmost of the Antilles in the Caribbean, re-evaluated its post-secondary education during the 1960s and determined that the community college could best serve the country's social, economic, and educational needs. For the first time the elitist tradition of post-secondary education on the island was challenged; working adults and all students over nineteen years of age, even with minimal educational preparation, could now engage in programs of higher...
Show moreThe small island of Barbados, easternmost of the Antilles in the Caribbean, re-evaluated its post-secondary education during the 1960s and determined that the community college could best serve the country's social, economic, and educational needs. For the first time the elitist tradition of post-secondary education on the island was challenged; working adults and all students over nineteen years of age, even with minimal educational preparation, could now engage in programs of higher education. Shortly after breaking its ties with England, Barbados established its community college. The intent of this investigation is to record the development of the college from its inception in 1969 to the present. The prime postulate states that an examination of a selected set of factors will result in tracing the development of Barbados Community College and identifying such formative factors as the need for technical education in Barbados and its relation to the existent educational system. The analysis utilizes interviews, statistics, and documents gathered from three data-gathering visits to Barbados (1971, 1977, 1978). At present Barbados has a second chance in its history to become the jewel of the Caribbean--not as an English colony, but as the model for tertiary educational leadership. Because of the success of the college, prospects for the future of the community college in Barbados and throughout the West Indies are bright.

Through visits to the three island nations, observations were made; interviews were conducted with justice practitioners, including police officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys and victim advocates; conversations were held with citizens and several crime victims; observations of court proceedings were conducted; and...
Show moreThis study examines the nature and extent of victim participation in the criminal justice systems in the three Caribbean nations of Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. Through visits to the three island nations, observations were made; interviews were conducted with justice practitioners, including police officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys and victim advocates; conversations were held with citizens and several crime victims; observations of court proceedings were conducted; and documents were studied. Victim participation was considered in the context of the culture and within the theoretical framework of institutionalism and organized anarchies. Institutions were seen as both constraining forces with respect to victim participation and emerging entities as regards victim participation. Justice practitioners' perceptions of participation often matched and often varied from actual systems of participation that exist. In addition, there were instances wherein practitioners who had considerable contact with victims (police officers, prosecutors) had very little knowledge about victims' rights and/or the status of victim policy. Victims of crime in Jamaica have more services available to them than do victims in the other two nations, as there is a government network of victim service agencies in place there. Participation in the actual trial process is similar in each of the nations studied.
