INTRODUCTION

Reform is gradually transforming local government to local governance and ultimately to developmental local governance.

RESEARCH FOCUS AND OBJECTIVE

The objective of the research was to determine how, and to what extent, have the constitutional and legislative enactments facilitated local government change.

RESEARCH METHODS

The research deployed empirical and desk analyses of legal and constitutional provisions concerning Caribbean local governments.

FINDINGS

This research examines the practice of international election observation in a Caribbean context. Previous research has focused primarily on Latin American and African states with little mention of the Caribbean reality.

Problem

Jamaica continues to experience high levels of crime and Montego Bay represents one of the main crime hotspots. Given Montego Bay’s crime problems, the marketing of this destination is problematic.

Method

In-depth interviews and desk research were utilisedwith the Hot Spots Theory for elucidating the dichotomous problem of crime versus tourism.

Geographic isolation coupled with human selection of Cannabis sativa has given rise to the subspecies Cannabis sativa subspecies sativa and Cannabis sativa subspecies Indica. Modern day plant breeders have crosspollinated the two subspecies sativa and indica that are known as Cannabis hybrids. The therapeutic and medical value of these subspecies are distinct in their applications for the medical cannabis user.
