“…Criminology is a scientific discipline that studies crime, where one of its discussions concerns criminal etiology. In criminology, there are four factors that drive individuals to commit criminal acts (Catello, 2023).…”

The urgency lies in the ambiguous definition, which allows this article to be interpreted in various ways and potentially forces anyone into the realm of criminal law. This is found in Article 156a, which states that anyone who deliberately expresses sentiments or performs acts essentially hostile, abusive, or blasphemous against a religion practiced in Indonesia shall be punished with imprisonment for a maximum of 5 years in public. The phrase "in public" is the subject of debate and could render the article ambiguous, allowing it to be used to target anyone desired to fulfill the criteria. The purpose of this research is to prevent the continued use of this ambiguous article for personal or group interests, and to stop the criminalization of speakers using this provision.

“…As Catello (2022) charts in his survey of the field, the term 'historical criminology' can be found in research dating back to the early 1910s, albeit used with different meaning to the historical criminology practiced in the contemporary period. Indeed, Catello (2022) found that although 'historical criminology' had been used in scholarship for more than a century 'the way in which the term has been used throughout the 20th century does not support the view that a single scholarly tradition is behind the popularisation of a coherent, overarching use or meaning of the term' (p. 10).…”

Bosworth (2001) was among the first in recent times to suggest that historical criminology had the potential to challenge dominant (read: arch-empiricist) approaches in the discipline, much in the way that Young (2011) argued in favour of, and narrative criminology also set out to achieve.…”

The past is prologue: Towards a historico-narrative approach at the intersection of historical criminology and narrative criminology

There is great scope for narrative criminology and historical criminology to come together and, in collaboration, find ways for the practices of each to strengthen the other. Ultimately, both have a shared focus: the stories (past and present) that we use to make sense of crime, and the criminal justice system. This article argues for a historico-narrative approach to criminological research, wherein the research conducted by historical criminologists can be augmented by the types of subjective analysis that are central to narrative criminology. Similarly, the analysis of ‘stories’ that is the core business of narrative criminologists can only be advanced by a greater engagement with the concept of historical time.

“…The overarching 'presentism' of traditional criminology is bemoaned by criminologists and is not a new criticism (Catello 2022). This was identified as far back as 1971 when Matza (quoted in Weis 1971: 53) stated that 'anyone with half an ounce of sense has always said that a main defect of sociology and criminology is that they're not historical.…”

The time has never been more appropriate than now for a discussion about the integration of history and criminology in Australia and New Zealand. Throughout 2020 and 2021, the people of both countries were subject to extraordinary government interventions into their daily lives to control the spread of the novel coronavirus. Given a respiratory pandemic of the same scale had not occurred for 100 years, we watched in real time as policymakers fumbled for guidance for the benefits and likely social consequences of imposing police-enforced legal restrictions on otherwise normal behaviours like freedom of movement and gathering with friends. Whether these were ultimately the correct decisions for controlling the disease is perhaps a question for others. Indeed, analysis of the interactions between the public and the state have always been the purview of criminologists and historians, yet we ceded this ground to epidemiologists who have little expertise in key issues of criminalisation and offending, or justice and policing, which are central to any system of state control.
