Beginning as early as 1498 when Grenada had its initial contact with metropolitan forces, this island state has experienced
little of the political democracy U.S. President Reagan pledged to restore to the country as part of the 1983 intervention.
Yet, for the 1984 elections that followed the toppling of the remaining vestiges of the 1979–83 revolution, the United States
and selected Caribbean allies attempted to amalgamate a party as an alternative to the Grenada United Labour Party (GULP)
and the remaining revolutionary forces. The resulting New National Party (NNP) was electorally successful in 1984 but by 1987
defections from the Party had produced a base for the National Democratic Congress (NDC). In 1989 the NNP again divided. It
was thus predictable that the 1990 elections would not return either wing of the National Party and instead would result in
a coalition government led by the NDC. Chances for real political democracy in Grenada are improved but will not be easily
realized in the face of severe economic crisis and a potentially weak government. The economic crisis could well promote current
movements toward increased regional integration. It is important that the 1983–1984 pledge of the United States to promote
democratization in Grenada be honored.

In 2000 the Department of Mental Health of the World Health Organization (WHO) published a guide named Preventing Suicide. A Resource for Prison Officers as part of the WHO worldwide initiative for the prevention of suicide. In 2007 there are new epidemiological data on prison suicide, a more detailed discussion of risk factors accounting for the generally higher rate of suicide in correctional settings in comparison to the general population, and several strategies for developing screening instruments. As a first step, this paper presents an update of the WHO guide by the Task Force on Suicide in Prisons, created by the International Association for Suicide Prevention. A second paper, by the same Task Force, will present some international comparisons of suicide prevention services in correctional facilities. 相似文献
