Immigrant perceptions of the police and policing hold important implications for police departments, police administrators and immigrants. In the aftermath of several police killings of African-Americans and the harsh and oppressive treatment of immigrants during the Donald Trump administration (January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021), immigrants in the United States are becoming increasingly wary of the police. During the past three to four decades, research on immigrant perceptions of police and policing has proliferated, especially in the United States where a large number of immigrants reside. Despite the proliferation of scholarship on immigrant perceptions of police in host communities, research examining Caribbean immigrants' perceptions of police and policing is almost non-existent. In an attempt to bridge this gap, the current study utilized a qualitative approach to gather data from 37 Caribbean immigrants in New York City (Boroughs of Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, and Staten Island) between June and July 2023 to ascertain their perceptions of the police in New York City. The findings indicate a lack of confidence, high levels of distrust and avoidance of the police in New York City. Five themes emerged from the dataset, namely: (a) bias, (b) poor treatment of Blacks, people of color, minorities and immigrants, (c) unlikable, (d) caring professionals, and (e) avoidance.

The purpose of this special issue is to highlight recent research on the intersection of immigrants and policing in the United States, a traditional destination since time immemorial for immigrants from disparate parts of the world. The special issue aims to enhance understandings of immigrants and how they interact with police officers and policing in the United States. Instructively, while there is a host of immigration studies conducted in the United States as well as scholarship on the immigration/policing nexus, the body of work surrounding immigrants and policing appears to be limited and thus requires framing in a broader context to capture a wider range of immigrants' perspectives on the policing of immigrants in the United States. This special issue addresses the existing lacuna by framing immigrants' intersection with policing in the United States around a wide range of nationalities, including, but not limited to, immigrants from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, as well as on a host of immigrant specific issues, such as U Visa, sanctuary states and immigrants' willingness to cooperate with the police. Regardless of the gender, nationality, age, and/or ethnicity of the immigrants reported upon in this special issue, the guest editors issue a call to action for organizations with a migration focus as well as scholars in the social sciences to systematically conduct research on immigrants and their interaction with policing as this has implications for immigration, police legitimacy, and social integration.

In Trinidad and Tobago, not much is known about males who are victims of domestic violence (DV) between intimate partners. As a result, the current study was designed to answer three research questions, namely: (a) How do the men experience DV victimization in Trinidad and Tobago?, (b) How do the men cope with their DV victimization in Trinidad and Tobago?, and (c) How do the men disclose their experiences of DV victimization in Trinidad and Tobago? "Thematic analysis" was used to chart several salient themes that emerged from a series of semi-structured interviews with 10 male victims of DV on the island. Findings indicate the prevalence of DV victimization perpetrated by females against males, involuntary disclosure of DV victimization and the use of wide-ranging coping strategies to deal with spousal abuse.

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.
