Looking at how the history of colonialism has shaped the definition
of crime and justice systems not only in former colonies but also
in colonialist countries, this book argues that criminology in the
West was originally tested in the colonies and then brought back to
mother countries. In this way, the colonial experience has been
instrumental in shaping modern criminology in colonial powers.The
book also looks at how radical critiques of mainstream criminology
by critical feminist and postmodernist thinkers contribute to an
understanding of the relationship between colonial experience and
criminology. But it also shows that even these critiques do not go
far enough as they remain virtually silent on colonial issues. The
author, Biko Agozino, considers African and other postcolonial
literature and contributions to counter-colonial criminology, their
originality, relevance and limitations. Finally he advocates a
"committed objectivity" approach to race-class-gender criminology
investigations in order to come to terms with imperialistic and
neo-colonialist criminology.
