Pan-African Issues in Crime and Justice

Criminology is an established discipline, yet non-Western criminology is still relatively ignored in the literature. Drawing upon materials from countries in Africa, the Caribbean, North and South America, and Europe, this stimulating book reflects on the experiences of people of African descent to offer a convergence of criminologies in and outside the West.
