Abstract
Abstract
This introductory chapter provides a general overview of the project, setting the collection’s perspective and objectives through a critical engagement with existing literature linked to the focus of the volume. It reviews the current state of criminological knowledge in relation to its imperial and colonial roots, as well as the current decolonial efforts within the field and their limits. It then outlines the chapters in the collection, discussing how the themes and issues they raise connect them and relate to the broader framework of scholarship, as well as highlighting how these interventions may advance decolonizing efforts and debates.
