Practicing Asian Criminology: Setsuo Miyazawa’s work as food for thought
This article addresses implications of Setsuo Miyazawa’s work for debates on Asian and
Southern criminology, that have drawn attention to mainstream criminology’s regional bias,
and the importance of criminological studies on Asian/ Southern contexts for criminology’s
further development. Miyazawa’s work shows how in depth analyses of and familiarity with
the research topic at hand allow for an internationally engaging employment of general
theoretical concepts, leading to new insights into specific Japanese contexts as well as
cross-national, general theoretical understandings of crime and criminal justice related
phenomena. Bringing into focus Asian criminology’s inherent comparative dimension, the
article argues that a commitment to a shared conceptual language is indispensable, as is a wide
circulation of studies on Asian contexts in international academic fora.
