Abstract

This paper makes a call for a critical historical criminology of the Antipodean and the Global South. The paper makes a preliminary argument for a critical historical criminology that is ‘against method’ and in favour of political alliances with ‘critical perspectives’ that can enrich historico-criminological understandings in an Antipodean and Southern context. In particular, the paper explores the potential for a politico-academic alliance between critical historical criminology and i) postcolonial studies, ii) Southern theory, and iii) Indigenous research. Such politico-academic alliances reveal that critical historical criminology is best understood as a ‘negation’ of both criminology and history and that historical criminology does not have to be understood as a new sub-discipline and academic specialism at the intersection of history and criminology. On the contrary, this paper argues that historical criminology can be approached as a critical attempt to ‘unthink the social sciences’ and to ‘de-discipline ourselves’.
