Biko Agozino and the Rise of Post-Colonial Criminology

Abstract

The statement above succinctly captures the thrust of the argument of Agozino (2003). From the title of Agozino's book, Counter-Colonial Criminology: A Critique of Imperialist Reason, it is evident that Agozino seeks a reformation and overhaul of what he calls Administrative Criminology or what one chooses to call Establishment Criminology, culminating in a change in its assumptions, focus, objectives, theories and methods.
