“…In addition, Caribbean islands are particular in that they are characterized by their islandness-a way of thinking that has been defined through metaphors, "reality of place," islander identity, and physical and social isolation (Robinson et al, 2021). Vannini and Taggart (2013, p. 225) argue that islandness is the result of islanders being required to make "use of whatever is at hand, solving ongoing concerns as they present themselves."…”

Legal socialization, perceptions of the police, and delinquency in three Caribbean nations

Legal socialization is the process by which individuals obtain their attitudes and beliefs about formal social control mechanisms such as the police, including how these are formed through domains of social life. These attitudes and subsequent beliefs toward the police, whether positive or negative, have been found to impact individuals’ compliance with the law and cooperation with legal authorities. Despite research advancements on legal socialization, the theoretical hypotheses drawn from this perspective have not been tested in the Caribbean context, a high crime and violence setting where the police are often viewed as corrupt, untrustworthy, and ineffective. This study uses data from 4,293 youths to examine the effect of socializing agents (i.e., family, school, and peers) on youth perceptions of the police in three nations – Guyana, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia – and whether these perceptions impact delinquency. We find that legal socialization domains and perceptions of the police are important factors that influence delinquency in the Caribbean. Implications are discussed in light of future research and policy.

“…A robust body of research examines how communities collaborate to build and maintain their own community networks for Internet and digital services [21, 23-25, 28, 54], especially in places where they were formerly inaccessible [31,33]. Many studies of CNs [22,29,37,40,42] and community radio projects [41,43,45,52,57] integrate technical development with community engagement, putting social science in direct conversation with system design and implementation.…”

Our world is now connected and even entangled in unprecedented ways through networked technologies. Yet pockets of unequal connectivity persist, and technical infrastructures for connectivity remain difficult to design and build even for experts. In this workshop we aim to bring together a global community of multi-and inter-disciplinary researchers and implementers working on infrastructure development and connectivity to explore the existing design challenges and opportunities for bringing technical dimensions of networked infrastructures in conversation with human-computer interaction (HCI) and the social science of infrastructure. We will share, assess and define research problems and resources for rethinking networked infrastructures from human-, community-, and society-centered perspectives, understanding them to be embedded with human values and biases. We particularly intend our collaborative work to support real-world connectivity initiatives, which have grown in critical importance over the pandemic years-especially projects in support of Global South communities. Concrete deliverables from the workshop will include: (1) an initial shared bibliography to help formalize the state of knowledge in our area, (2) an agenda of shared goals, challenges, and intentions in our field, (3) a compilation of resources to support future work, and (4) social and organizing infrastructures for continued communication and academic collaboration.

“…This requires polyvocal participatory processes that are attuned to issues of power and equality, recognise diverse identities, perspectives and experiences and give space for contradiction and dissent (Murray et al 2023;Stephens 2019). In the rurban context, these processes need to be especially sensitive due to high levels of interdependence because of the recent rural past (Robinson et al 2021). This interdependence, and the legacy of the 'tightly knit' rural community (Liepins 2000;Meagher 2009;Thomas et al 2015), makes participatory rurban CSCW more challenging as dominant social norms are confronted and uprooted.…”

The rapidly expanding rural community (often called rurban) is a new place for CSCW with unique sociogeographic characteristics that give rise to the need for adapted participatory practices. Socially Engaged Art (SEA) offers pluralistic and critical approaches to participative rurban CSCW to meet this need. This paper provides a case study of SEA-informed CSCW in an Irish rurban community. An online digital art summer school was delivered to young residents of Northrock using freely available digital collaboration and creation tools. Young people in rurban communities are navigating personal, social and political issues in a complex and evolving environment. In this summer school, SEA was applied to explore these issues through the creation and sharing of digital art on participant experiences and hopes for the future. The summer school hoped to promote critical thinking, confrontational dialogue and greater mutual understanding. We found that rapid creation and critique of a range of digital art expressions of social issues accessed nuanced and contradictory experiences, bringing them into dialogue with each other while supporting mutual understanding and new perspectives on rurban place and identity as they evolve. We propose integrating SEA into CSCW with young people in liminal and transitional communities such as the rurban to explore complex lived experiences in pursuit of more equitable futures and sustainable community expansion. We also draw attention to the usefulness of readily available digital and online tools in supporting CSCW in creative workshop situations.
