WEBSITE OF THE CULTURAL CRIMINOLOGY TEAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KENT, UK Culturalcriminology.org is the website of the Cultural Criminology team at the University of Kent, UK. The aim of this website is to provide a general introductory resource for those interested in cultural criminology. The website is maintained by Dr Keith Hayward. Cultural criminology is a theoretical, methodological and interventionist approach to the study of crime and deviance that places criminality and its control in the context of culture; that is, it views crime and the agencies and institutions of crime control as cultural products - as creative constructs. As such they must be read in terms of the meanings they carry. Furthermore, cultural criminology seeks to highlight the interaction between two key elements: the relationship between cultural constructions upwards and cultural constructions downwards. Its focus is always upon the continuous generation of meaning around interaction; rules created, rules broken, a constant interplay of moral entrepreneurship, political innovation and transgression.
