Decolonising Criminology

<p>This book contends with the question of how to decolonise criminology and&nbsp;discusses a number of key aspects of the debate. It sets out to consider differing&nbsp;aspects of criminology, including its history as a discipline, its context within the&nbsp;empire, its location within higher education (a system itself still steeped in&nbsp;colonial ideas and practices) and its relationship to criminal justice systems, with&nbsp;their own well-documented racially mediated brutality. It aims to expand the&nbsp;criminological lens and seek ways to enhance participation within criminological&nbsp;debate of those groups who have been excluded from participation and power.&nbsp;This book aims to follow a path already established by scholars in the global&nbsp;South, as well as engaging with marginalised communities within the global&nbsp;South who have not yet been fully accepted into the academy. It outlines a&nbsp;practical toolkit to support higher education institutions to decolonise their&nbsp;criminology curricula. It considers what the decolonial endeavour means&nbsp;within academic criminology, criminal justice-related professionals and within&nbsp;communities.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
