2y ago
Similar to my presentation on Southern Criminology at the 2019 American Society of Criminology conference (and posted here on this blog), below is the link to a recently published commentary on the claims-making of one of the key architects of this recent criminological 'school', Kerry Carrington. Both Carrington's comments and the response (by established critical criminologists Harry Blagg, Thalia Anthony, Rob Webb and Antje Deckert) were published in the British Journal of Criminology blog.  I have also included the link to Carrington's 'critique' of decolonising approaches in cri ..read more

The following text laid the foundation of a presentation I gave at Indigenous Studies, Macquarie University, 2 November 2019, titled 'The Evangelism of Indigenous Criminology' The seed of the idea for this presentation was planted back in 2015 while Chris Cunneen and I were writing the book Indigenous Criminology, at which time another book on Indigenous justice issues was published.  The book in question was Arresting Incarceration: Pathways Out of Indigenous Imprisonment, by Don Weatherburn, former head of the New South Wales Bureau of Statistics, now Adjunct Professor at the University ..read more

Old Wine in an Old Bottle? An Indigenous Commentary on the Criminology of the Global South
The Indigenous Criminologist
by
3y ago
The idea for the title of this presentation came from a discussion I had in early 2019 with a prominent Australian Aboriginal scholar regarding the Criminology of the Global South (from here-on-in Southern Criminology), during which he described engaging with material produced by Australian members of this ‘new’ criminological movement, as akin to drinking ‘old wine out of a dirty bottle’.  The old wine refers to the rehashed Eurocentric theories and focus of the new criminology, while the dirty bottle referred to the fact that Southern Criminology arose from the same bastion of white pr ..read more

The following entry is based on a paper I presented at the 2019 American Society of Criminology conference held in San Francisco: In his 2008 tome ‘Crime, Aboriginality and the Decolonisation of Justice’, Harry Blagg considers whether it is possible for restorative justice to assist Indigenous peoples to decolonise settler colonial criminal justice. Blagg ponders whether the structures that sustain the RJ movement are “sufficiently liminal to accommodate Aboriginal narratives”? Blagg’s searching question is pertinent to the broader question this commentary is concerned with, namely ‘of what ..read more

Police Racism and the Asshole Trajectory
The Indigenous Criminologist
by
5y ago
Setting the SceneEarly in 2017 I was involved in a Facebook discussion with friends about police, racism and Indigenous peoples. The discussion began with a statement I posted that a key driver of Maori over-representation in crime statistics was due to the high level of police surveillance and 'policing' of Maori, especially Maori youth. Enter two Facebook 'friends' (now 'ex' friends... obviously), both ex-cops.  The first started his comments by pointing out a) not all cops are racist, b) Maori offending is due to poor parenting, and other similar statements.  In response to criticism of his ..read more
