Calls for submissions
Despite its importance, the Global South is underrepresented in sociological, legal, and criminological research. Perspectives on Crime, Law and Justice from the Global South aims to bridge this gap, bringing new perspectives and internationalizing knowledge to better reflect our interconnected world.
Aims and scope
This book series addresses the global imbalance in knowledge production between the Global North and South.
Despite making up only 15% of the world's population, the US and UK produce over half of the academic output, leading to a narrow perspective based on a few societies in Western Europe and North America. And yet, notwithstanding its apparent significance as a site of obvious sociological, legal and criminological interest, the global south has remained marginal to the concerns and research agendas of law and criminology.
This book series aims to redress this bias, to enlarge the criminological imagination to encompass global south experiences and ideas. Our goal is to broaden the criminological perspective by including experiences from the Global South. This region, home to nearly 85% of the world's population across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the island nations of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, faces significant challenges. Issues such as armed conflicts, military coups, and severe human rights abuses often have a greater impact in the Global South compared to the North.
This series explores the insights and solutions emerging from the Global South to gain a more comprehensive understanding of global issues.
This title is aligned with our fairer society goal
We are passionate about working with researchers globally to deliver a fairer, more inclusive society. This perhaps has never been more important than in today’s divided world.
