Tracking violent incidents in Barbados is central to everything I do here on the blog and in the homicide database. It all starts with checking the news periodically throughout the day and into the night. Once I find something related to violent crime, it becomes an incident. This also means that my numbers may understate the actual number of incidents, since not every violent event makes the news.

An incident, for the purposes of my work (viewed from a purely data-analyst lens rather than that of a sociologist, criminologist, etc.), is a violent event that is either fatal (i.e. resulting in or contributing to death) or non-fatal (no death, but possibly injury to the body or damage to property).

    As I frequently do, I was simply ruminating on the nature of marriage.

    What is marriage?

    A friend of a friend always insisted that he was married. His wife had migrated. Some years later she died. His adult children did not bother to tell him that they had buried mummy. He was a widower for many years and did not know it.

    So again I ask, “what is marriage?”

    @SS
    In a philosophy course, which students were forced to take back in the day, as a precursor to “Ethics in Business”, the final stated “Marriage is an institution based on love. But love as we all know is blind. Hence marriage is an institution for the blind”. Discuss.
    I not being religious, always thought it was created by the taxman, for regardless of the outcome, they seemed the primary beneficiary.
    These days marriages don’t even often occur in church, another revenue stream the church has lost.
    So I’m likely not a good person to answer that question.
