This book undertakes an exploratory exercise in decolonizing
criminology through engaging postcolonial and postdisciplinary
perspectives and methodologies. Through its historical and
political analysis and place-based case studies, it challenges
criminological inquiry by installing colonial structures of power
at the centre of the contemporary criminological debate. This work
unseats the Western nation-state as the singular point of departure
for comparative criminological and socio-legal research.
Decolonising Criminology argues that postcolonial and
postdisciplinary critique can open up new pathways for
criminological investigation. It builds on recent debates in
criminology from outside of the Anglosphere. The authors deploy a
number of heuristic devices, perspectives and theories generally
ignored by criminologists of the Global North and engage
perspectives concerned with articulating new decolonised
epistemologies of the Global South. This book disputes the view
that colonisation is a thing of the past and provides lessons for
the Global North.
