This paper takes as its starting point the recent interventions of Jock Young (2011) on the contemporary state of criminology. In adding to these observations those made by Connell (2007) and Aas (2012), the case will be made, following de Sousa Santos (2014), for a criminology of absences. In endeavouring to uncover these absences, the paper will consider how the ‘bogus of positivism’ (Young 2011, chapter 4), its associated presumptions and related conceptual thinking, manifest themselves in two substantive areas of contemporary concern: violence against women and violent extremism. With the first of these issues I shall consider the ongoing controversies in which the bogus of positivism is most apparent: the powerful influence of the criminal victimisation survey as the data gathering instrument about such violence. In the second area of concern, this bogus of positivism is most apparent in its ‘nomothetic impulse’ (ibid: 73). Both of these discussions will expose different, but connected absences within criminology. In the final and concluding part of this paper, I shall return to the questions posed by the title of this paper: whither criminology, and in the light of this discussion, offer some thoughts on the place of Asian criminology within criminology’s global future(s).

犯罪学何去何从：它的全球未来？

本文以 Jock Young (2011) 最近对当代犯罪学状况的干预为出发点。除了 Connell (2007) 和 Aas (2012) 所做的这些观察之外，还将在 de Sousa Santos (2014) 之后对缺勤犯罪学进行论证。在努力揭示这些缺失的过程中，本文将考虑“伪实证主义”（Young 2011，第 4 章）及其相关的假设和相关的概念思维如何体现在当代关注的两个实质性领域：对妇女的暴力和暴力极端主义. 对于这些问题中的第一个问题，我将考虑正在进行的争论，其中实证主义的虚假性最为明显：刑事受害调查作为有关此类暴力的数据收集工具的强大影响。在第二个关注领域，这种虚假的实证主义在其“规范冲动”中最为明显（同上：73）。这两个讨论都将揭露犯罪学中不同但相互关联的缺失。在本文的最后部分，我将回到本文标题所提出的问题：犯罪学向何处去，并根据这次讨论，就亚洲犯罪学在犯罪学的全球未来中的地位提出一些思考。 ）。
