ABSTRACT This article reviews a final year undergraduate module, “Crime, Punishment and Justice in the British Empire”, evaluating the extent to which it contributed a de/postcolonial perspective within the delivery of a criminology programme’s curriculum. To do this the paper first critiques the discipline of criminology and its links with colonialism, before describing how this module was designed to address criminology’s “colonial problem”. The paper then explores the design and delivery of the module from the perspective of the author before providing a student perspective on the module based on data collected through five semi-structured interviews. The paper concludes that although the module largely met its objectives, a single option module can only have a limited impact. If criminology can be decolonised (something the paper remains agnostic about) it will require a radical rethinking of the curriculum at a programme level.

“法律”、“秩序”、“正义”、“犯罪”：通过对殖民历史的研究来颠覆犯罪学中的关键概念

摘要 本文回顾了本科最后一年的模块“大英帝国的犯罪、惩罚和正义”，评估了它在提供犯罪学课程的课程中对反殖民/后殖民视角的贡献程度。为此，本文首先批评了犯罪学学科及其与殖民主义的联系，然后描述了该模块是如何设计来解决犯罪学的“殖民问题”的。然后，本文从作者的角度探讨了模块的设计和交付，然后根据通过五次半结构化访谈收集的数据提供了学生对该模块的看法。该论文的结论是，尽管该模块在很大程度上实现了其目标，但单个选项模块只能产生有限的影响。
