Drawing on Raewyn Connell’s Southern Theory (2007), Carrington et al. (British Journal of Criminology, 56(1), 1–20, 2015) have called for a de-colonization and democratization of criminological knowledge, which, they argue, has privileged the epistemologies of the global North. Taking up the challenge of “southern criminology,” in this paper we examine the concept of race as a political artifact of northern thinking. The idea of race is durable in criminology. To illustrate this, we examine the racialization of Aboriginal Australians. Given the relationship between processes of racialization and criminalization, criminology should avoid engaging in practices which produce or reinforce racial schema. Further, with reference to southern epistemologies, we offer an alternative construct of human difference and diversity grounded in discourses of belonging specific to Australasian cultures.

南方犯罪学可以为赛后议程做出什么贡献？

借鉴 Raewyn Connell 的南方理论 (2007)，Carrington 等人。（British Journal of Criminology, 56(1), 1-20, 2015）呼吁对犯罪学知识进行去殖民化和民主化，他们认为，这使全球北方的认识论享有特权。接受“南方犯罪学”的挑战，在本文中，我们将种族概念作为北方思想的政治产物进行研究。种族的概念在犯罪学中是经久不衰的。为了说明这一点，我们考察了澳大利亚原住民的种族化。鉴于种族化和犯罪化过程之间的关系，犯罪学应避免参与产生或强化种族图式的实践。此外，参考南方的认识论，
