520			_aThe Routledge Handbook of South Asian Criminology is a significant contribution to the study of criminology, criminal justice, and victimology in the South Asian region. The book is the first of its kind to focus specifically on the countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The chapters in the book are written by scholars from these countries as well as from the US, UK, Australia, and Belgium. The book covers a wide range of criminological issues, including the historical perspectives of criminal justice in South Asia, victimization, and the politics and policies surrounding crime and criminal justice. As the region experiences rapid growth in population and economy, the book highlights the impact of these transformations on social behaviors related to criminality and victimization. The contributions in the book offer a comprehensive overview of criminology in the South Asian region, making it an essential read for students and scholars of South Asian criminology, criminal justice, and politics. The book will not only advance the study and practice of criminology in the South Asian region but also have implications for other regions around the world.
