This introduction establishes the problem that the special issue addresses: punishment in global peripheries. Then, it justifies why analysing it is a timely task to examine such matters in the broader context of the growing debate on southernizing and decolonizing criminology, and more particularly, in punishment and society studies. Finally, the contents of the various articles comprised by this special issue and some of their common elements are briefly described.
