“…However, to our knowledge, this type of literature is scarce in criminology, particularly in the Asian context (c.f., Belknap, 2016;Hebenton and Jou 2013;Liu et al 2017). By examining the overview of the use of five major criminological theories in Asia with SQLR, we aim to identify geographical, methodological, theoretical and conceptual gaps in the current literature on criminology in Asia in order to contribute to its development.…”

“…In what Belknap (2016) called a "powerful" article, Liu (2009) emphasized the need to develop criminology in Asia. He articulated this because while most of the recent major criminological theories have been developed in the US (Liu 2007), "cultures and societies within Asia differ considerably" (Liu 2009, p. 4).…”

“…While most extant empirical studies on these theories still originate from the US and other Western countries (Carrington 2017;Jiang and Lambert 2012), the number of originating in Asia has been increasing (Antonaccio and Botchkovar 2016;Belknap 2016;Hebenton and Jou 2013). Yet, few comprehensive and systematic reviews on the application of criminological theories in Asia have been conducted.…”

“…While theories are invented to be "universal" beyond cultures and societies, some scholars caution against simply applying existing criminological theories in the Asian context (Jiang and Lambert 2012;Joo 2015;Zhang 2008) because the differences between Asia and the US (and other Western countries) might affect criminal and antisocial behaviors among Asian people (Braithwaite 2014;Zhang et al 2008). Since Antonaccio and Botchkovar (2016) and Belknap (2016) have already conducted a narrative review on how criminological theories are tested in non-Western contexts including Asia, we are more interested in "numerically" (see the discussion on Methodology) understanding the extent to which the theories are supported, and if not, the reasons for failures.…”

“…In recent years, a number of scholars have reignited the debate about the Westerncentrism of criminology, each offering their own distinct terminology to resolve the problem. This has led to calls for 'counter colonial criminology' (Agozino 2004a: 350), 'transnational criminology' (Bowling 2011;Sheptycki 2008: 15), 'African criminology' (Agozino 2010: vii-viii), 'Asian criminology' (Belknap 2016;Liu 2009;Liu et al 2013;Liu 2017) and 'Southern criminology' (Carrington et al 2016;Carrington and Hogg 2017;Carrington et al 2018;Hogg et al 2017). These scholars share the same concerns as those who came before them in seeking to decentre criminological knowledge production in order to attain a more inclusive approach to understanding crime, justice and punishment.…”

Decolonising Criminology: Syed Hussein Alatas on Crimes of the Powerful

Like the rest of the social sciences, criminology is dominated by Western scholars, literature and perspectives. This Westerncentrism of criminology means that non-Western criminological scholarship has largely been marginalised or ignored. This article contributes toward the ongoing efforts to decolonise criminology by arguing that the Malaysian intellectual, Syed Hussein Alatas , is worthy of greater inclusion in criminological research and teaching due to his pioneering scholarship. More specifically, Alatas deserves greater recognition within the criminological subfield of 'crimes of the powerful', an area within criminology which has been at the forefront of challenging the criminological status quo but which remains somewhat parochial. This article introduces Alatas' most notable works and explains their relevance for contemporary criminology.
