    www.crimejusticejournal.com IJCJ&SD 2016 5(3): 80‐94 ISSN 2202–8005 Realist Criminology and its Discontents Simon Winlow Steve Hall Teesside University, United Kingdom Abstract Critical criminology must move beyond twentieth‐century empiricist and idealist paradigms because the concepts and research programmes influenced by these paradigms are falling into obsolescence. Roger Matthews’ recent work firmly advocates this position and helps to set the ball rolling. Here we argue that Matthews’ attempt to use critical realist thought to move Left Realism towards an advanced position can help to put criminology on a sound new footing. However, before this becomes possible numerous philosophical and theoretical issues must be ironed out. Most importantly, critical criminology must avoid political pragmatism and adopt a more critical stance towards consumer culture’s spectacle. A searching analysis of these issues suggests that, ultimately, criminology is weighed down with obsolete thinking to such an extent that to remain intellectually relevant it must move beyond both Left Realism and Critical Realism to construct a new ultra‐realist position.

  • Analyzing the Application of Competing Theories of Justice Into American and Pakistani Policing Strategies James F
    Pakistan Journal of Criminology Vol. 9, Issue 3, July 2017 (1-24) Analyzing the Application of competing Theories of Justice into American and Pakistani Policing Strategies James F. Albrecht* Abstract Law enforcement agencies across the United States have implemented a number of enforcement philosophies since 1960 in an effort to counter rising crime rates, violence, and prolific victimization. The primarily reactive deployment of police resources in the 1960s and 1970s had proved to be ineffective. With drug related violence escalating, frustrated American police administrators opted to implement community policing with its proactive crime reduction and problem solving approaches. Crime control results were limited before showing signs of improved effectiveness in the mid-1990s. Many government and police leaders, as early as 1994, often instituted a ‘zero tolerance’ enforcement mandate, which directed that the police universally address both serious crime and quality of life infractions. Combined with timely crime analysis, the proactive arrest-oriented strategies quickly drew the attention of government and police leadership across the United States and internationally as crime rates in America continued to plummet. As a result, the ‘get tough on crime’ mindset rapidly replaced the neighborhood and public oriented approaches fostered by the traditional models of community policing. American state, regional, and local police agencies had thus shifted their enforcement strategy from one supporting the ‘left realism’ community focused theory of justice to one that has firmly grasped the ‘right realism’ crime and disorder control based ideology. However, with occasional allegations of racial profiling and police brutality following rare but dramatically sensationalized incidents, the reported successes of American crime control tactics may need to be re-evaluated.

  • Deviance and Social Control: New Right Realism
    Deviance and Social Control Deviance and Social Control: New Right Realism © Chris.Livesey: www.sociology.org.uk New Right Realism Deviance and Social Control New Right Realism Introduction If New Left Realist approaches to the study of crime and deviance owe some kind of debt to past theories of deviance, the same is true of New Right Realism. In this instance, however, the origins of New Right Realism lie in both Control Theory and, as you might expect, political Conservatism. Unlike the form of "Marxist Realism" of New Left Realism, the "realist" aspect of the neo-conservative theories grouped under the heading of the "New Right Realism" relates more to a "realistic" view about the causes of crime and deviance than to a particular set of methodological principles. In this respect, New Right Realist forms of analysis are, as we shall see, grounded squarely on positivist methodological principles. Thus, the "realistic" assessment of the causes of crime (a concept that’s used very loosely here since it’s probably fair to say that New Right Realism is not unduly concerned with concepts of causality in relation to crime and deviance) and, most importantly, its prevention, proposed by New Right Realists focuses on the idea that the reality of crime is very much a "what you see is what you get" principle. If we look at two of the organizational principles under-pinning New Right Realism, this idea should become a little more clear... 1. Ideologically, New Right Realism is, as I’ve noted, stridently Conservative in its political stance (which is not, of course, to say that this is a "bad thing", any more than the Marxism of Radical Criminology or New Left Realism is a "bad thing".

  • The Impact of COVID-19 on Youth Offending
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY The impact of COVID-19 on youth offending Being a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of BA (Hons) Criminology with Psychology May 2021 LEANNE JADE KNOWLES Abstract When estimating the potential impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on youth offending, it is important to consider traditional theories of crime. This literature review aims to determine which of the secondary impacts of the pandemic have influenced crime during the crisis and can predict changes to crime rates in the future. Existing theories of crime such as ‘anomie’, control theories and the right realist perspective of offending can identify crime predictors and risk factors that may be aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The following review contains secondary research of personal accounts from individuals based on their experiences throughout the pandemic, literature on traditional theories of crime can be compared with the main issues raised by this research. The focus of the review is youth offending in the UK. Several theories have been used to explain the impacts of COVID-19 on criminal activity, for example, routine activities theory can help to explain reductions in crime following the national lockdown. Routine activities theory may be able to explain rises in crime when government restrictions are lifted, as opportunities for offending are to increase. Theories surrounding social disorganisation can be used to draw links between unemployment and youth crime. Disruptions in the structure of society are expected to increase criminal activity due to an increase in anomic frustration.

  • Crime and Deviance
    3 Crime and deviance Introduction We are fascinated by crime and deviance.This is evident from the mass media – from crime series on TV and crime reports in newspapers, from detective novels which are concerned with finding the criminal and explaining the crime, and from movies which often portray the more colourful, lurid and violent aspects of crime. Why this fascination? Criminal behaviour appears unusual and different. It involves risks which endanger those who commit crimes and their victims. For many people, out-of-the-ordinary behaviour seems much more interesting than their own humdrum activities. And to those of us looking on, the risks and dangers involved are often experienced as exciting and entertaining – from a safe distance! Crime and deviance break social norms – they deviate or diverge from conventional behaviour.This can be disturbing.We often fear crime and feel worried and anxious when taken-for-granted norms are broken.Why? Because such activities disrupt our sense of social order and threaten our view of the way things should be. And this adds to our fascination with crime. It should therefore come as no surprise that crime and deviance is one of the most popular topics in sociology. chaptersummary Unit 1 looks at the meanings of deviance, crime and Unit 9 looks at the relationship between globalisation social control. and crime, focusing on green crime and state crime. Unit 2 investigates evidence on the extent of crime, Units 10, 11 and 12 look at the relationship between trends in the crime rate, and the identity of offenders. ethnicity and crime, gender and crime, and age and crime.

  • Theories and Causes of Crime
    Theories and causes of crime Introduction There is no one ‘cause’ of crime. Crime is a highly complex phenomenon that changes across cultures and across time. Activities that are legal in one country (e.g. alcohol consumption in the UK) are sometimes illegal in others (e.g. strict Muslim countries). As cultures change over time, behaviours that once were not criminalised may become criminalised (and then decriminalised again – e.g. alcohol prohibition in the USA). As a result, there is no simple answer to the question ‘what is crime?’ and therefore no single answer to ‘what causes crime?’ Different types of crime often have their own distinct causes. (For more about definitions of crime see SCCJR What is Crime? You can also find out about specific types of crime at: SCCJR Violence Against Women and Girls; SCCJR Drug Crime; SCCJR Knife Crime) This briefing provides an overview of some of the key criminological theories that seek to explain the causes of crime; it is by no means an exhaustive list. Each of the theories covered has its own strengths and weaknesses, has gaps and may only be applicable to certain types of crime, and not others. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ theory. The theories covered can be categorised into two main approaches: 1) Biological theories 2) Sociological theories 1 1) Biological theories Biological explanations of crime assume that some people are ‘born criminals’, who are physiologically distinct from non-criminals. The most famous proponent of this approach is Cesare Lombroso. Lombroso and Biological Positivism In the 19th Century, Italian prison psychiatrist Cesare Lombroso drew on the ideas of Charles Darwin and suggested that criminals were atavistic: essentially ‘evolutionary throwbacks’.
