Rezensionen

'Southernising Criminology is a three-part compendium of essays on theory, method and praxis, meticulously edited by Luiz dal Santo and Carla Sepulveda. The authors do not shy away from the gargantuan challenges of democratising criminological knowledge that has privileged northern-centric ways of thinking for more than a century. As the chapters illustrate this unfolding project is a plural and collectivist movement of multiples voices. The journey brings theory and praxis from the margins to the centre to bridge global divides in the pursuit of a more just and inclusive criminology and criminal justice systems around the world. Southernising Criminology is essential reading for students, activists, policy makers and scholars interested in the subject.'

Kerry Carrington, Adjunct Professor, School of Law and Society, University of the Sunshine Coast

'Southernising Criminology as a movement in contemporary criminology is too diverse and dynamic to be defined in a textbook or captured in an ordinary handbook but Santo and Sepulveda have organized a multi generational and multinational group of leading and emerging scholars of comparative and critical criminology to provide the reader with the methodological and theoretical tools needed to join the discussion.'

Jonathan Simon, Lance Robbins Professor of Criminal Justice Law, Center for the Study of Law & Society, UC Berkeley, School of Law

'This is an urgent and important book. The editors have assembled an impressive range of scholars to interrogate the theoretical, methodological and political questions posed by the ambition to 'Southernize' criminology. It offers an invaluable resource for serious thinking about what it means to democratise criminological knowledge production.'

Professor Ian Loader, Director, Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford
