During the Age of Empires and the modern period, the global south has been a space of criminological and penal experimentation and transportation, which has produced failures and innovation. And yet, when it has not been plundered as a data-mine, the global south has remained largely invisible in criminological thinking. \u00a0This Handbook aims to rectify this omission by providing an expansive overview of criminologies of the global periphery and introduce readers to diverse contributions about the global south that challenge how we think and do criminology and justice. It argues that the primary challenge of contemporary criminology lies in redefining geographic and symbolic limits of the discipline to create globally connected systems of knowledge. Hence the idea of the South captures the fact that there are enclaves of the South within the North and unresolved North\/South tensions <em>within<\/em> many societies (i.e. northern and southern Europe, Southern States of America). This is what we propose in speaking of something called \u2018southern\u2019 criminology.

The purpose of southern criminology is not to dismiss the conceptual and empirical advances that criminology has produced over the last century, but to more usefully de-colonise and democratise the toolbox of available criminological concepts, theories and methods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Not all contributors are expected to be from the global south &#8211; as a critical part of southern criminology aims to transnationalise the discipline and to link northern and southern scholars in a collective project that will radically transform the discipline into the future. In this sense southern criminology is a step in the journey toward the development of a \u00a0trans-national criminology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>If you are interested in contributing to this exciting new development in criminology please send an abstract by\u00a031 March 2016 to:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"mailto:kerry.carrington@qut.edu.au\">kerry.carrington@qut.edu.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Name, Email \u00a0and Institutional Affiliation<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Abstract (around 500 words)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>In your abstract please state how your topic fits with, develops or compliments the project of southern criminology.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>If your abstract is selected for inclusion in the handbook chapters of around 6-8000 words will be due\u00a0early 2017.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editors: Kerry Carrington, Russell Hogg and John Scott, Crime and Justice Research Centre, QUT, Australia Maximo Sozzo, Universidad Nacional de Litorel, Argentina Call for Book Chapter Proposals Almost 85% of the world\u2019s population live in what might be termed the \u2018global south\u2019, comprising three continents .
