“…The negative consequences of peer relationships also emerge from association with or exposure to delinquency. Parenting style also affects children's psychosocial outcomes and contributes to transmission of violence (Brown and Johnson 2008;Smith and Mosby 2003;BakerHenningham et al 2009). However, Brown and Johnson (2008) found widespread support for use of corporal punishment across socio-economic groups and family structures.…”

“…The excessively harsh and/or frequent use of physical punishments at times leads to child victims running away from home and joining the ranks of street children. Some children, however, share the belief that physical punishment is valid and necessary (Brown and Johnson 2008).…”

“…However, Brown and Johnson (2008) found widespread support for use of corporal punishment across socio-economic groups and family structures. These practices are implicated in the transmission of violence (Brown and Johnson 2008;Smith and Mosby 2003;Baker-Henningham et al 2009). This logic perhaps also applies to the transmission of sexual violence.…”

Series Editor: Heather Sutton ii AbstractThis report is part of an IDB technical note series on crime and violence in the Caribbean. The overall aim is to establish a baseline of the crime prevention arena against which progress can be assessed. The report compiles the available data from multiple sources in order to provide a diagnosis of the size, characteristics, and changing nature of the crime problem in Jamaica over the last 10 years. In addition, the report provides a survey of the various crime prevention and suppression policies, programmes, and projects adopted by government, private organizations, and non-governmental organizations in recent years. In performing the above-mentioned tasks, the report offers an assessment of the data collection, analysis, and crime response capabilities in Jamaica, and makes suggestions regarding the most effective way forward.Key words: violence, crime, Jamaica, prevention JEL Codes: I39, Y80, J12, O54iii .....................................................................................

Data from the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), public health data, and survey information show high levels of criminality and corruption on the island. Jamaica has homicide rates that are notably higher than both the regional and global averages, although since 2010 there has been a significant decline in violent crimes and indeed serious crimes in general.In 2010, there was a 7.5 per cent decline in major crimes over 2009 (from 437 to 409 per 100,000 inhabitants) and a 15 per cent decline in murder (from 62 to 5...

“…Yet, on the other hand, some researchers suggest that the impact of being physically abused is culturally dependent and therefore, in a culture where corporal punishment is acceptable, the adverse effects would be minimal (13). In light of these contradictory perspectives, this research investigated whether being exposed to physical abuse is associated with higher levels of psychological distress and also an increased likelihood of being a substance abuser, within a cultural context where physical disciplining is considered acceptable.…”

According to Lamm and Keller (2007), for the development of creativity in children, parents should motive the child correctly with their attitudes and behaviors, and they should offer experiences suitable for their level of interest, skill and development.…”
