This second edition of The Palgrave Handbook of Criminology and the Global South significantly expands, develops and draws together the rapidly growing research and theory about crime, punishment, security, prisons, policing, gender violence, environmental justice, island justice and justice innovations from, of and about the Global South. It addresses the hegemonic bias in the production and dissemination of criminological knowledge and covers a huge scope of research methodologies and lines of inquiry to develop a transnational criminology inclusive of the experiences and perspectives of the Global South. It includes Indigenous, critical, green, southern, feminist, counter-colonial, post-colonial and de-colonial approaches. It seeks to contribute to the bridging of global divides and reducing inequities with the aim to democratise criminological knowledges.
