Special Issue | Green Criminological Dialogues: Voices from Oceania

2026-03-02

Volume 15, Issue 1 is a special issue Green Criminological Dialogues: Voices from Oceania guest edited by David Goyes, Nigel South and Antje Deckert.

This special issue examines how colonialism and Western capitalist logic have reshaped Oceania’s societies, knowledge systems, and ecologies, and highlights the need to engage with Indigenous ways of being, knowing, and resisting. It traces how centuries of extractive colonial practices—settler conquest, resource exploitation, scientific appropriation, cultural suppression, and environmental harm—continue to produce injustice, including ecological collapse, dispossession, and threats to survival for Pacific Island communities.
