Criminologies of the Global South: Critical Reflections

  • Published:
Critical Criminology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This article attempts an ambitious undertaking by scholars collaborating from far flung parts of the globe to redefine the geographic and conceptual limits of critical criminology. We attempt to scope, albeit briefly, the various contributions to criminology (not all of it critical) from Argentina, Asia, Brazil, Colombia, and South Africa. Our aim is not to criticize the significant contributions to critical criminology by scholars from the Global North, but to southernize critical criminology—to extend its gaze and horizons beyond the North Atlantic world. The decolonization, democratization and globalization of knowledge is a profoundly important project in an unequal and divided world where knowledge systems have been dominated by Anglophone countries of the Global North (Ball 2019; Connell 2007). Southernizing fields of knowledge represents an important step in the journey toward cognitive justice as imagined by de Sousa Santos (2014). While we can make only a very small contribution from a selected number of countries from the Global South, it is our hope that others may be inspired to join the journey, fill in the gaps, and bridge global divides.

Notes

  1. We use the term, “self-denominated criminology,” to differentiate between what authors, themselves, may consider to be criminology from what fits into the scope of criminological interest without carrying the label of “criminology.” The four arguments we advance here apply only to “self-denominated criminology”—only to those areas of research and those works that have self-identified as (or have actively embraced the term) “criminology.”
