In various writings, he drew attention to the relationship between capitalism and crime and also analyzed crime and its control from a number of perspectives. Quinney's notoriety and progression as a criminologist can be discerned through an examination of five standpoints including his (1) characterization by scholarly peers, (2) biography and career stages, (3) movement of writings from perspective to perspective to perspective, (4) focus on social transformation and peacemaking criminology, and (5) legacy of work for the field of criminology. A key theme of this entry is that, during the major stages of his intellectual career, Quinney laid the foundation for his articulation of a peacemaking criminology. Thus, this perspective represents a growth in his way of thinking rather than a rejection of his earlier criminologies.

Radosh In this article,the work of Richard Quinney and his peacemaking approach to the study of crime is used to examine the circumstances of women’s crime and the effect of incar- ceration on women and children. Quinney’s attention to events prior to the act of crime is applied to women’s crime. The common life experience of prior physical or sexual abuse is among the most consistent recurring themes among incarcerated women. For these women,crime is a symptom of other painful life experiences. Quinney’s peacemaking approach to crime suggests that nonpunitive response offers more hope for a future with- out crime,and this approach is suggested as the most appropriate means of responding to women’s crime.

    [ book reviews ] Drawing the Line Once Again: Paul Goodman’s Anarchist Writings Paul Goodman (San Francisco: PM Press, 2010. 128 pages.) Reviewed by—Jeff Shantz, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Dec 2013 Despite the fact that anarchist theorists (from major figures like Peter Kropotkin and Emma Goldman to other lesser known writers and activists) have been actively involved in developing criminological perspectives and practices from the inception of the discipline, much of anarchism has been written out of the histories of criminology. Thus, the significant contributions of anarchism to criminology have been overlooked or forgotten. More recently the important undertakings of newer scholars such as Christopher Howell have contributed to the archaeology of criminological knowledge and uncovered crucial contribu- tions of anarchism. The overlooking of anarchism has meant that important voices have been silenced or remain unheard. Among the more interesting recent commentators has been Paul Goodman. While Goodman is generally recognized as one of the most im- portant and influential inspirations of the New Left during the 1960s and 1970s, it is probably true that very few people asso- ciate his ideas with criminology. Goodman’s work addresses a range of issues of criminologi- cal concern, from causes of social harms through critical analy- sis of responses to crime. His work prefigures recent develop- ments in peacemaking criminology and restorative justice. The 129 130 RADICAL CRIMINOLOGY (ISSN 1929-7904) recent collection Drawing the Line Once Again offers a fine in- troduction the Goodman’s criminological analysis, offering an outline of his communal anarchist criminology. Goodman speaks against the proliferation of laws and penal- ties, covering issues that are neither crimes nor socially harm- ful, and such encroachments on judiciary autonomy as manda- tory sentencing and differential punishments—largely linked to race in the US.

Although these programs often provide successful outcomes, we know relatively little about why they work. Reintegrative shaming theory provides a lens by which to explain successful outcomes. This study uses over three years of direct observations to examine the practice of reintegrative shaming in a mental health court (MHC). We organize our findings around four primary components of reintegrative shaming outlined by Makkai and Braithwaite: respectful disapproval, disapproving the behavior rather than the individual, rejecting deviance as a master status, and ceremonial decertifications of deviance. Our data demonstrate that reintegrative shaming in MHC is largely accomplished through interactions with the judge, although the unique organization of the MHC, including their small caseloads, use of separate dockets, and pre-court team meetings, advance the court’s use of reintegrative shaming.

Anarchist criminology: a new way to understand a set of proven practices Duane Ruth-Heffelbower Abstract An anarchist theory of criminology would describe the response of a society to harmful acts when there is no ruling authority imposing a system of legal order. The author describes this theory and then demonstrates how restorative justice practices can be seen to meet the requirements for an anarchist theory of criminology. Anyone who has had to teach or take a course titled something like “Theories of Criminology” knows that there are a lot of them, and that the differences boil down to a small group of family trees. What they all have in common is support for a ruling class tamping down social deviance to a level and type that it deems acceptable. In the United States this generally takes the form of providing middle class jobs to one sort of people who then seek to restrain another sort of people for the benefit of the ruling class. This pacifies the middle class group in the process. Americans broadly accept the idea that their criminal justice system is not working well.

  • Reintegrative Shaming
    David R. Karp Center for Communitarian Policy Studies George Washington University Abstract: This paper examines the concept of shaming from a communitarian perspective and how shaming has been applied in criminal justice. Despite the fact that the formality of the criminal justice system impresses upon us the legal content of criminality, crime is best understood by its moral content. Crimes are not wrong because they are illegal, but because they violate shared values regarding acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Criminal activity is inherently shameful because the violation of moral codes justifies moral condemnation of the behavior (though not of the person). Because we are inherently social creatures, disapproval by others weighs heavily in our decisions to engage in various behaviors. Shame is a powerful tool for ensuring normative compliance and is a central component in theories of restorative justice and informal control. Thus it may be an important tool for communities wishing to be actively involved in criminal justice and a bridge between formal and informal control. Shaming, however, is underutilized in the criminal justice system and by communities seeking to exercise informal social control. In particular, this paper examines (1) how shaming may be counter-productive to moral rehabilitation serving only to stigmatize and outcast and how it may be reintegrative; (2) how shaming, with its individualistic and cultural emphasis, may be reconciled with structural analyses of crime and crime control; and (3) why shaming has been overlooked due to our cultures emphasis on liberal theory and formal control. Three classes of shaming applications will be evaluated in light of this communitarian perspective on informal control.

  • Transformative Justice
    Peace & Conflict Review Volume 11, Issue 1 ISSN: 1659-3995 An Overview of the History and Theory of Transformative Justice Anthony J. Nocella II Abstract This article is dedicated to the historical overview, political development, and philosophy of transformative justice, with a primary focus on the United States. Core principles of tranformative justice are synthesized from various theorists, activists, and institutions. The article begins with critical criminology, a sub-field of criminology, in order to discuss peacemaking criminology, compare restorative and transformative approaches to justice, and draw connections to the field of conflict transformation. Transformative justice is recommended as the best pathway toward a new criminal justice system in the United States, and as an integral part of a wider social justice philosophy for peace. This article addresses the need for a new criminal justice system within the United States – a criminal justice system that is not grounded in a retributive structure based on punitive discipline such as the death penalty and life prison sentences. Similar to activists today, in the 1960s there was a radical social movement against the establishment. This rebellion included many students who, disgruntled with the government, law enforcement, and social norms, pursued careers as community organizers, politicians, lawyers, and professors who promoted a new system void of punitive punishment and repressive forms of social control and discipline. That system is transformative justice, and this article is dedicated to the historical overview, political development, and philosophy of transformative justice. The article begins with a discussion of critical criminology, a sub-field of criminology, in order to provide a context to discuss peacemaking criminology, compare restorative and transformative approaches to justice, and draw connections to the field of conflict transformation.
