Abstract

This journal is the official organ of the African Criminology and Justice Association but the opinions expressed in the journal are those of the authors and not necessarily representative of the views of the association. The journal is here to fill a void in existing knowledge by exposing the discipline to knowledge about and from Africa and Africans worldwide that could enrich the discipline in a progressive direction. For too long has criminology continued as a discipline designed almost exclusively by others with little or no acknowledgement of the contributions, actual and potential, from African sources.
