The Theoretical Contributions of Asian Criminology in Reconstructing Criminology

Asian criminology is committed to contributing Asian experiences and insights to the field of criminology and thus addressing the long-term failure to consider of culture and context in the development of criminology. [...] The common characteristics and diversity of Asian contexts make it necessary to generate a unified paradigm to guide the study of Asian criminology and lead the development of the discipline of criminology in Asia. [...] In terms of global criminological development, the conception and development of Asian criminology do not seek to refute the achievements of Western criminology but to accept the great importance and the valuable experience and research methods of Western criminology and to advocate for learning from Western criminological knowledge. [...] Thus, Asian criminology and the Asian criminological paradigm have made great contributions to the research in Asian countries under a unified criminological paradigm, and the unification of theoretical and institutional levels has promoted the institutionalisation and formalisation of criminology in Asian countries. [...] After the concept of Asian criminology and the paradigm of Asian criminology was introduced in 2009, the concept was further developed in the field of criminal justice.
