Four challenges being faced by the justice system in the Caribbean society and culture today?

Answer 1

expand on the points such as:

Ammendment of laws: laws must be amended in order to facilitate the needs of the people. Laws were made long ago making them archaic, meaning, they may have little application to today's society as advancements in technology has taken place. There are new cries that can be committed and therefore, must be updated in order to take necessary actions

Speed: Caribbean countries which are under the privy council system of law, must send their "reports" to Britain. Since Britain has many colonies, they have a vast amount of reports and situations to be dealt with. This means that The speed at which issues are being dealt with are very slow. In addition, Caribbean culture has changed drastically from European culture. This makes it very easy for miscommunication and misunderstanding of the issue at hand.

Corruption: it is evident that corruption is a reality of Caribbean society today. Corruption can be in the form of police or government affiliations. Corruption such as misplacing of files, losing evidence, prolonging investigations, causing the verdict to be inadmissible in court. For example, the woman who was instantly killed by a policeman speeding on the Beetham highway in Trinidad due t drunk driving. The breathalyser test was taken hours after the policeman was sobered up, bottles were seen in the back of the car, yet, many finger prints were put on it to dismiss such evidence. Etc.

Lack of technology: in the Caribbean there is a lack of technology, filing cabinets for data is still used. this acts as a challenge as data can be easily misplaced, or destroyed in a natural disaster, floods earthquakes etc. No backups are present, hence this acts as a challenge. One solution would be converting data digitally, therefore security will be applied.
