“…An early sexual debut is when a first consensual sexual experience for an adolescent has occurred prior to age 15 (Baumgartner et al, 2009;Guttmacher Institute, 2012;Houlihan et al, 2008). Current statistics show that approximately 13% of all adolescents have engaged in sexual activity by the age of 15 years old (Guttmacher Institute, 2012).…”

This study aims to revisit the studies reported in the area of peer influence with reference to health behavior. Peer groups are social groups that consist of people of the same age and have similar interests and usually equal in terms of the education and social class. Peer groups are important as they tend to provide a space to make friends. They also help provide social and emotional support as well as an identity and a sense of belongingness to a social group, especially during adolescence. The authors have found that sexual behavior is one of the many areas in which teens are influenced by their best friends and peers. Teens are more likely to have sex if their best friends and peers are older, use alcohol or drugs, or engage in other negative behavior. Similarly, they are more likely to have sex if they believe their friends have more positive attitudes toward childbearing, have permissive values about sex, or are actually having sex. The authors have found that most of the studies in this area have been developed have been assessing the negative aspects of peer influence. Understanding important factors related to sexual behavior is important not only to change that behavior; it is important to identify those teens who are most at risk of having sex and unprotected sex. This paper explains the implications for those working to help youth avoid risky sexual behaviors and potential consequences. It is concluded with the recommendations for conducting studies in this direction.

“…Female children are especially vulnerable to early sexual initiation (Baumgartner et al 2009;Geary 2013), domestic violence, being trafficked, being a victim of child labour, and commercial sexual exploitation (Dunn 2000). The 2008 RHS found that such abuses often lead to sexually transmitted infections, HIV/AIDS infection, exposure in later life to intimate partner violence, intergenerational transmission of violence and poverty in later life, and early pregnancy.…”

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...
