Chris Cunneen (University of New South Wales (UNSW) - Faculty of Law; James Cook University - Cairns Campus) has posted Indigenous Challenges for Southern Criminology (in Carrington, K., Hogg, R., Scott, J. and Sozzo, M. (eds) Palgrave Handbook on Criminology and the Global South, Palgrave Macmillan) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
The chapter considers three challenges that Indigenous perspectives provide for Southern criminology: the importance of understanding colonialism and the coloniality of power; the role of Indigenous knowledges, epistemologies and methodologies; and the political questions that Indigenous peoples pose for settler colonial states. The chapter argues that criminology needs to be reconfigured to overcome its historical roots, its epistemological blindspots and its politically compromised positions.
