About The Book
The Routledge Handbook of South Asian Criminology is the first comprehensive work to focus specifically on crime, criminal justice, and victimization in South Asia, covering Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. With South Asia’s rapid population growth and economic transformation, the region is witnessing significant shifts in social behaviors, including criminality and victimization.

This handbook provides a thorough exploration of criminology, criminal justice, and victimology across these eight nations. It addresses processes, historical perspectives, politics, policies, and the impact of victimization, offering insights into the region’s criminal justice systems. Contributions from scholars in South Asia, as well as international experts from the US, UK, Australia, and Belgium, present a global perspective on these issues.

The book aims to advance the study and practice of criminology in South Asia and offers valuable lessons for other regions. It is an essential resource for students and scholars of criminology, criminal justice, and politics, and anyone interested in the dynamics of crime and justice in the South Asian context.
