RT Article T1 Tackling whiteness as a decolonizing task in contemporary criminology JF The Routledge international handbook on decolonizing justice SP 516 OP 527 A1 Earle, Rod 1958- LA English YR 2023 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1883485673 AB In the twenty-first century, criminology has become a vigorous and dynamic discipline attracting growing numbers of students and developing new research programmes. In this chapter, I will explore how aspects of whiteness in criminology can be identified and made more open to challenge. Focussing on criminology in England, I recognize the global reach, scale and variations of whiteness and the need to attend to historically generated specifics at the local level. I argue that making whiteness better understood and more visible in criminology increases the prospects of decolonizing justice, confronting its racism, and promoting more egalitarian convivial futures.
