The Criminal Bench Book for Barbados, Belize, and Guyana comprises twenty-eight chapters. The first twenty-three chapters open with general principles in the subject area of law and then narrow down to provide jurisdiction-specific principles, directions, and guidelines for the three individual jurisdictions respectively.

The final five chapters are novel in that they address areas of judicial attention that are newly emerging, constantly developing and increasingly relevant to Caribbean justice. These are: Criminal Case Management; Judge-Alone Trials; Procedural Fairness; Therapeutic Jurisprudence; and Human Trafficking, Forced Labour, and Modern Slavery.
