Nonmonetary indicators of poverty are increasingly being used by themselves or in conjunction with monetary indicators to measure poverty levels as previous constructs based solely on monetary indicators are being deconstructed. This is predicated on the notion that low income by itself is insufficient to measure poverty. Despite this general move away from using financial indices as a sole measure of poverty, Trinidad and Tobago continues to use this approach to distinguish the poor from the non‐poor. The current effort examines the unidimensional measurement of poverty in Trinidad and Tobago and proposes an alternative measure, the latent class analysis (LCA) model, to measure poverty on the island. The authors propose the usage of a latent class model (a multidimensional construct) to analyze the nonmonetary indicators associated with two dimensions of poverty—the housing domain and the consumption domain.

Trends in the Judiciary: Interviews with Judges from Across the Globe, Volume 4, provides much needed insights into the lives, working environments, and social milieus of a select group of judges. These legal luminaries, often viewed as pedantic in their ontology, serve the crucial role of preserving the human rights of individuals from being trampled upon with impunity by governments. This text offers detailed data emanating from the narratives of judges who were interviewed by a wide range of academicians, from emerging and mid-career scholars to professionals and established professors. The narratives of the judges are interspersed with research data and country details in an effort to enhance the knowledge base of the readership. Judges from Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, the Pacific Islands, New Zealand, North America, and South America all contributed to this text by sharing information on their careers as well as insights as they traversed their profession. The readership of this manuscript will experience the thought processes of judges in relation to gender issues, subtle attempts at juridical control, dealing with powerful criminals, and the lives of judges who have other interests besides "interpreting and applying the law." The international, cross-cultural perspectives presented in this book should be of significant interest to academics, practitioners, students, and those interested in comparative legal studies across the globe, the criminial justice community, and criminologists.

"Policing the Global South provides scholarship which further transnationalise and democratise ideas about policing practices and philosophies, highlighting renovations in approaches to policing studies, and injecting innovative perspectives into the study of policing from scholars positioned on the 'periphery'. Criminological knowledge depolarization underscores a conscious effort by scholars from the Global South to increase intellectual knowledge focused on developing context-specific responses to issues not aligned to northern ideological positions and specific to non-northern context. Such shifts draw attention to the expanse of spaces beyond northern centres rife with challenges unlike any specific to those experienced or conceptualized by scholars from the Global North with an applied northern criminological lens. Applying a post-colonial lens to empirical knowledge from country-specific cases in former colonies in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, the Pacific and Latin America, this book examines how policing issues not aligned to northern ideological positions and specific to non-northern contexts are addressed. The primary purpose is to share innovations in the field of policing - service provision, threats to security, crime responses, justice and international trends - developed in post-colonial developing country contexts. Given the aim of the book and the contributors' own research on issues of policing across the globe, it discusses themes including but not limited to the colonial legacies and their impact on policing; how plural regulatory systems and partnerships are navigated by the police; the linkages between access to justice, community perceptions and police legitimacy; innovations and challenges in organisational reform, crime prevention and community partnerships; and the expanding roles of police organisations in the Global South. While each chapter presents a policing issue in a country within a specific part of the Global South, the book highlights how important it is to frame responses based on contextual realities informed by an awareness of the past and present, with a goal of informing the future. Delivering a much-needed introduction to those specialising in policing in developing countries, it is invaluable reading for academics and students of criminology, criminal justice, governance, policy, and IR, as well as professionals in policing organizations across the globe"--
