New Special Issue | Criminology in Post-Violence Transitions

2025-06-02

Guest editors Ailsa Peate (University of Westminster, UK), Natalia Maystorovich Chulio (The University of Sydney, Australia) and Camilo Tamayo Gómez (University of Huddersfield, UK) bring together contributions which illuminate how criminological inquiry can enrich our understanding of societies moving beyond conflict and authoritarianism. Through an academic yet accessible voice, the collection addresses a broad scholarly audience about the intersection of criminology with processes of justice, memory, and social change in transitional contexts.

The contributions in this issue span diverse geographical regions and cultural contexts, with a particular focus on the Global South. Case studies range from Latin America (Guatemala, Colombia, Chile, Argentina) and Africa (The Gambia, Nigeria, Cameroon, South Africa) to Europe (Spain) and international justice fora (the International Criminal Court). Each article reflects unique local realities, from Indigenous struggles in Colombia and Guatemala to post-authoritarian memory struggles in Spain, Argentina, and The Gambia, while collectively speaking to universal themes of justice, accountability and healing after violence.
