Description

Southern Criminology offers a fresh perspective on the study of crime and violence. For too long, criminology has focused on large population centers in the Global North, often ignoring the global countryside, peripheries, and antipodes. This book introduces an innovative approach to correct this long-standing bias. By challenging the assumption that criminology is globally universal, this work turns traditional origin stories on their head. It provides a necessary shift in how scholars and students view the field. Through various case studies, the text explores how historical theories have shaped our understanding of crime. For example, it traces the fascination with dangerous masculinities back to Lombroso's theory of atavism, which was rooted in orientalist perspectives. This text is an essential resource for those looking to understand new directions in critical criminology. It provides the tools to examine how geographical and cultural biases have influenced academic thought and how to move toward a more inclusive global understanding of criminal justice and social issues.
