ABSTRACT
In the twenty-first century, criminology has become a vigorous and dynamic discipline attracting growing numbers of students and developing new research programmes. In this chapter, I will explore how aspects of whiteness in criminology can be identified and made more open to challenge. Focussing on criminology in England, I recognize the global reach, scale and variations of whiteness and the need to attend to historically generated specifics at the local level. I argue that making whiteness better understood and more visible in criminology increases the prospects of decolonizing justice, confronting its racism, and promoting more egalitarian convivial futures.
