    "description": "\ufeffThis book explores the situation of violence against children (VAC) in<br />the Caribbean context against an international backdrop. It examines<br />the different dimensions of violence (direct, cultural and structural)<br />and involves a sociological exploration of the factors that contribute<br />to the high tolerance of violence that exists in the Caribbean region,<br />with particular attention to Trinidad and Tobago. A deconstruction of<br />the violence concept and its epistemological implications allows for<br />a defining, refining and re-defining of the phenomenon. The research<br />examines the spheres of domestic violence, gender violence, violence<br />against street children, and corporal punishment in great detail.<br />The research adopts a rights-based analysis of the issue of VAC and<br />incorporates an international review; it imports field research from<br />Bangladesh, Canada, Nicaragua, and the Netherlands context to<br />inform the study. It conducts an evaluation of T&T\u2019s standing with<br />respect to the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights<br />of the Child and puts forward sound recommendations for change.<br />The multi-design approach uses qualitative and quantitative data<br />analysis to assess the nation\u2019s knowledge, attitudes, perceptions and<br />beliefs (KAPBs) on the issue of VAC. The ultimate aim of the research<br />is for its utilisation by everyone, especially state policy makers, to<br />promote a \u2018lowering\u2019 of the threshold of violence- tolerance, thereby<br />fostering a more child-friendly society.<br />",
