  • 1 from Vulnerability to Violence
    FROM VULNERABILITY TO VIOLENCE: GANGS AND ‘HOMICIDE BOOMS’ IN TRINIDAD AND BELIZE1 Adam Baird2 Cite as: Baird, A. (2020) From Vulnerability to Violence: Gangs and ‘homicide booms’ in Trinidad and Belize, Urban Crime. An international Journal (forthcoming) Abstract At the end of the 1990s gang driven homicide rates in Belize and Trinidad boomed and today remain amongst the highest in the world. That these homicide booms occurred as drug transhipments increased, makes casual connections between drugs and violence an intuitive and frequent assumption. This article argues that the role that drugs transhipment plays in sparking transitions to violence is often assumed and overstated, and alone is a weak predictor of violence. The comparative research presented finds that historic, chronic vulnerability in the poor neighbourhoods of eastern Port of Spain and southside Belize City played a defining role in the rise of street gangs; whilst increased lethality is directly attributable to inflows of firearms, which had different transhipment routes and political economies to drugs when homicide booms occurred. Ominously, once a violent street culture is established, it is resilient, guns stay, gangs evolve, and homicide levels persist. Keywords: Gangs, Trinidad, Belize, homicide, drug transhipment, drug trafficking 1 Based on two research projects: Breaking Bad: How transnational drug trafficking creates violent masculinities in local Caribbean communities in Port of Spain. Funded by the ‘Partnership for Conflict, Crime, & Security Research’ program, Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), and; From transnational crime to local insecurity: How drug-trafficking penetrates communities and creates violent masculinities in Belize.

Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to those who have been affected by homicide and/or the death penalty in some capacity, whether they are survivors of the victim or of the accused. In either case, both families are victims. The dissertation is also dedicated to the surviving victims, Sean Moore, Herman Smith, Jim and Ann Fowler, Max Kelton, and Leslie Douglass, who were gracious enough to share and relive their tragic experiences with me. I just hope that I have conveyed their stories and growth from tragedy in a manner in which the participants would be pleased. The ultimate goal is to inform others so that surviving victims‘ voices no longer remained ignored. Acknowledgements To my amazing wife, Melissa, and wonderful children Jasmine and Dylan, thank you for your patience and understanding over the past few years. I love you all very much. You are finally getting your husband and father back from the abyss of dissertation research and writing. To my parents, Herman and Sachiyo, my sister, Takiyah, nephew, Anthony, and friends, thank you for all of your support and love throughout the years.

Not many people know this, but I’ve always considered myself an artist of sorts. Ever since I was a young kid, I invariably find myself passing the time by doodling, drawing, and, on occasion, even painting. In the space between my paper and pencil, and in those moments when inspiration would strike, my imagination would run amok and these bigger-than-life personas - football players and comic book characters and, of course, professional wrestlers - would come to life. I wasn’t aware of this until much later, but for all those years my mother would quietly steal away my drawings, saving them for all prosperity, and perhaps giving her a way to relive all of those memories of me as a child. That’s exactly what happened to me when she showed me those old sketches of Iron Man and Walter Payton and Fred Flintstone and Hulk Hogan. I found myself instantly transported back to a time where things were simpler and characters were real and the art was pure. I get a lot of really similar feelings when I look at the incredible art that Rob Schamberger has shared with 2 foreward us all. Rob’s passion for art and for professional wrestling struck me immediately as someone that has equally grown to love and appreciate both, and by Adam Pearce truth be told I am extremely jealous of his talents.
