It has been widely acknowledged that there exist significant theoretical and practical gaps between the Global North and South in the discipline of criminology. This divide is manifested in the hierarchical production and dissemination of criminological knowledge, as well as the vast social and cultural differences between the North and South. The dominance of Global North criminology has resulted in the serious underdevelopment of criminology in the Global: existing theories are primarily rooted in Western contexts and derived from Western data, with limited integration of cross-cultural variationsCross-cultural variations. To bridge the gap between the Global North and South, Liu has proposed a three-stage strategy to extend the conceptual toolbox from the Asian context to the Global North. The three primary strategies involve the transportation of Western theories, the elaboration and transformation of these theories, and the construction of concepts and theories based on Asian empirical grounds that differ from Northern theories in revolutionary ways. Despite the increasing amount of research focusing on the examination and explication of Western criminological theories, significant differences between Western and Asian contexts hinder the effective implementation of some influential theories even after the elaboration stage. Based on observations of the Asian context and summary of Western theories, Liu has constructed a general theory concerns cultural variations. This chapter will review the efforts of Asian criminology in bridging the global gap in criminological knowledge production and highlight how the relationism theory of criminal justice serves as a comparison paradigm to connect the theoretical differences between the Global North and South. The new paradigm has the capability to capture cultural differences and explain multiple criminal justice outcomes at multiple levels.
