• Resumen

  • The growth of ‘queer criminology’ in recent years has seen greater attention being paid to the treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people by criminal justice agents and institutions. The foundations of this work remain situated in the global North. The emergence of southern criminology, then, offers important tools to consider the extent that queer criminology mirrors the concerns of the global North, and the implications of this for the global South. This chapter begins drawing together these two fields. It first examines the ways that queer criminology reflects ‘Northern’ LGBT and Queer frameworks. It then explores the implications of transposing initiatives for LGBTQ people in the global North into the South without accounting for differences in these contexts.
