N2  - This article reflects upon the applicability of the problem-solving model of crime prevention, developed within Britain and the US, to murder in Trinidad and Tobago. Murder, along with other serious violence, has experienced a significant upswing in recent years, apparently related to the increasing integration of Trinidad and Tobago into the global drug economy. The article shows that, while the conventional problem-solving approach provides logical strategies for prevention, it would likely face significant challenges because of problems of corruption and capacity within state institutions. Solving these institutional problems would require, among other things, a stronger role for civil society in crime prevention. Keywords:  crime prevention, problem-solving, corruption, civil society, murder<p />
