“…Taking historical difference seriously means recognising that one cannot simply translate policies or practices from other times to present contexts. History does not repeat itself exactly (see also Catello 2021). Still, meaningful comparisons across time can sometimes help inform thinking about present issues and policy reform (Thane 2009).…”

“…Enlarging upon this genealogical inheritance, Roberto Catello has argued at length that historical criminology as such should be understood somewhat similarlyas a field of enquiry that mobilises historical materials to address questions concerning contemporary crime and justice (Catello , 2021. He sees historical criminology as a domain of practical enquiry, interrogating what ought to be done about criminal justice in the present and future.…”

“…viii-xiv). Seen as such, historical criminology is a badly neglected field of research, stifled by the historicist outlook and intent that pervades historical scholarship on crime and justice (Catello , 2021.

Recent years have seen increasing interest in, and scholarly discussion of, historical criminology. Yet there remains at present no clear, settled view as to what historical criminology entails, how it is best pursued, and what its future might hold. This article explores the several conceptions of historical criminology found in the present literature, which associate it variously with archival research, practical inquiry, a concern with temporality, and a certain approach to interdisciplinary scholarship. Adopting the view that historical criminology entails a special regard for historical time, the review goes on to assess its significance to the wider field, examining its connection with some of the core impulses of criminology at large. Finally, it suggests some major opportunities for historical criminology to contribute to the future development of criminology, including through an inclusive global criminology, a criminology of events, and research on crime and justice futures. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Criminology, Volume 6 is January 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
