Crime and Post Colonial Criminology

[Iniko Ujaama]

“Indeed, there is something hauntingly unreal
about a scholarly discipline dedicated to the study
of crime, the criminal and the criminal law that
focuses almost exclusively upon the actions of lawbreaking
individuals, while turning a blind eye to
the mass terrorism imposed upon innocent people
by slavery, colonialism and their continuing
legacies.”
-Stephen Pfohl, Foreword to Counter-Colonial
Criminology: A Critique of Imperialist Reason.
