Abstract:

AbstractBetween its first meeting in January 1664 and the final session held under unfree labour in December 1838, the volume of legislation passed by the house of assembly in Jamaica increased exponentially. As in Britain and Ireland, this reflected the growing administrative capacity and political power of the legislature and also the enormous demand for laws and law-making among local interest groups. The rise and fall of slavery and the slave society in the island was therefore underpinned in a large part by the power of its colonial legislature, which also operated within the broader tran

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 24pt 36pt;"><span style="color: #131413; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global phenomenon. It is pervasive in every society and cuts across culture, religion, wealth, status, age, and lifestyle. IPV is a violation of women’s human rights and a threat to public health and national development. However, in many societies, particularly developing nations, it is not given the national attention it deserves. The purpose of the current article is to present a snapshot of the prevalence and scope of IPV in t

Abstract:

This chapter explores the use of coercion, both legislated and informal, in community mental health services in North America, South America, and the Caribbean. Greater detail is provided for the United States and Canada as there has been more research on formal coercion in these jurisdictions, particularly on the use of outpatient commitment (OPC) and community treatment orders (CTOs). Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina are used as examples of the situation in Latin America and Jamaica as an example from the Caribbean. The chapter discusses whether formal coercive approaches are more respecting of

This chapter evaluates the evolving legal and cultural standing of elite mixed-race Jamaicans in the first half of the eighteenth century. It describes why so many interracial families formed on the island as well as the legal restrictions imposed on mixed-race people by the colony’s legislature, the Jamaican assembly. In particular, it considers how concerns over the balance between a small white and large enslaved population in Jamaica created security fears as well as demographic anxieties about mixed-race families. However, the chapter shows that elite free people of color carved out legal

Abstract This chapter examines petitioning in Jamaican politics between 1664 and 1840, aligning it with wider work on the operation of colonial politics in the British Atlantic on the one hand, and the agency available to marginalised groups on the other. Using a quantitative study of petitions, it demonstrates that the volume of petitions rose and fell roughly in line with legislative initiatives and spending by the colonial Assembly, testifying to the importance of the petition as a political and administrative mechanism in colonial rule.

This chapter describes the history and impact of Parliament's Debt Recovery Act of 1732, which created a legal regime strengthening creditors' remedies against land and slaves throughout the British colonies in America and the West Indies. Parliament enacted the Debt Recovery Act in response to concerns among English creditors that the colonists were defeating their efforts to collect on debts by invoking traditional English legal protections to land. The merchants were interested in the laws of Virginia and Jamaica, where planters relied on credit to purchase an increasing supply of slave lab
