| Summary: | "Southernising criminology" is a movement that has increasingly been spread across the globe. Scholars from different perspectives and backgrounds have acknowledged its traction and potential. If the rise of Southernising criminology has been widely welcomed in the field of criminology, this does not mean this movement has not been critically assessed. Criticisms have been made on different grounds: from its premises and research object to its methods, aims and outcomes. In addition to criticisms, some uncertainties have also marked this debate: there is some confusion on how it differs from other critical (e.g., Postcolonial, Indigenous, Counter-colonial) and more international (e.g., Global, Transnational, Comparative, International) perspectives. This chapter deals with all these issues, clarifying some points that remain nebulous and further elaborating this scholarship. First, it provides a brief overview of what Southernising criminology is and how it relates to other similar projects. Then, it engages more deeply with two significant aspects that have generated some heated debates: its (i) philosophical and epistemological premises and (ii) possibilities, including conceptual resources, analytical tools, and pragmatic opportunities to Southernise criminology. In so doing, the piece highlights some challenges, potentialities, and horizons for Southernising criminology. |
