This article aims to encourage all those interested, to develop theories adjusted to the reality of the Latin American context regarding criminology. Principally, it advocates on the analysis of criminology from a post-colonial perspective, in order to understand the consequences of colonialism on both the colonized and colonizer. Post-Colonialism maintains that the process and structures of colonization continues to have consequences for the dynamics of our time. This article considers the law and in particular the violence that Latin America experiences as examples of these colonial consequences. Subsequently, if the intention is to prevent and reduce crime, postcolonial criminological theory – one that is also removed from Eurocentrism- must be incorporated within our approaches.
