The Caribbean Policy Research Institute (CAPRI) with the support of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has joined forces with the Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA) to conduct an in-depth study on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on domestic, gender-based, and community violence, particularly among poorer communities and households.
The study dubbed: “Stress Test: The Impact of the Pandemic on Domestic and Community Violence”, will be launched virtually on Thursday, April 29, on the think-tank’s YouTube channel.
According to researchers, it is the intent that the finding of the study will contribute to a better understanding of the nature and dynamics of violence in Jamaica and the prevalence of its manifestation as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

A quarter of participants said personal factors such as not having enough time to care for children and other dependents were a major factor for their decision to leave. This was the second-highest reason given. In the year ending March 2012, 1,158 officers left the police, compared to 2,363 in the year ending March 2020. The figure amounts to 1.83 per cent of the total police officer population in England and Wales, up from 0.86 per cent eight years ago. Dr Charman said: “With policing in England and Wales undergoing one of the biggest recruitment drives in modern history and the focus for the Home Office firmly back in favour of retention, an understanding of what contributes to a decline in organisational commitment and ultimately to avoidable turnover within policing is crucial.
