Recognising abhorrent legacies

The chapters in this section invite criminologists to consider two interrelated issues: the impact of colonial and imperial legacies on sensory criminological issues here in the present and the lessons sensory criminology needs to learn and consider in order to become part of the wider effort to decolonise criminology. Within these chapters, we find broader discussions of justice, history, coloniality, criminology, anthropology, ocean cultures, the potential toxicity of legacy, and the lessons that can be drawn from memoir. Here we see criminology at its ‘rendezvous’ best by incorporating an expansive range of disciplines and topics to disentangle a complex past and think towards an increasingly daunting future.
