Exploring the Relationship Between Community Policing and the Exercise of Democracy in Post-Colonial Jamaica

This is an exploratory essay which moves from the descriptive, micro-level concerning the efficacy of Community Policing in Jamaica to the explanatory, macro-level of the impact of coloniality on the history of Jamaica, with particular emphasis upon the ways in which coloniality is simultaneously the cause of the root problem of the style of policing in Jamaica and suggestive of its prognosis for how Jamaican society might transform its policing system into one that is truly efficacious for the people of Jamaica.
