    Abstract

    The modern nation state of Australia has a penal colonial past that shapes contemporary criminal justice practices and increasingly informs criminological knowledge. This chapter discusses the impact of Australia’s colonial legacy on the development of criminology as a discipline and traces the emergence of a strong critical and engaged academic community. The chapter also explores the continuing bonds of Australian criminology with the English-speaking metropole and calls for it to begin to forge strong links with the countries of the Asian and Pacific region in which it is geographically located.
