Picture of Criminal Legalities and Minorities in the Global South

This book explores how the law and the institutions of the criminal justice system expose minorities to different types of violence, either directly, through discrimination and harassment, or indirectly, by creating the conditions that make them vulnerable to violence from other groups of society.  It speaks to legal and social science scholars in the fields of law, sociology, criminology, and social work.

Picture of Criminal Legalities in the Global South

This edited volume presents the work of academics from the Global South and explores, from local and regional settings, how the legal order and people’s perceptions of it translates into an understanding of what constitutes "criminal" behaviors or activities. This book aims to address the gap between criminal law in theory and practice in the Global South by assembling 11 chapters from various underrepresented regions of the world.
