Based on the book “Criminal Legalities in the Global South”, edited by George Radics and Pablo Ciocchini, the Panel will discuss, from local and regional settings, how the legal order and people’s perceptions of it translates into an understanding of what constitutes “criminal” behaviours or activities. Aimed at addressing the gap between criminal law in theory and practice in the Global South, the book draws on research from Singapore, the Philippines, Peru, Indonesia, India, the Dominican Republic, Burma, Brazil, Bangladesh, and Argentina
