In his review of the book, Dominica native and Justice in the Ontario, Canada Court of Justice, Irving André, wrote: "This book is a tremendous contribution to the discourse on crime and prevention in Dominica. As the island’s leaders battle the deleterious effects of globalization, rampant drug use, unemployment and the proliferation of gangs, Dr. St. Jean provides a blueprint for the resolution of many of these problems with the implementation of a well orchestrated program of community based policing."
