The Meaning of Cultural Criminology August, 2015, Vol 7(2): 34-48 L
Journal of Theoretical & Philosophical Criminology The meaning of cultural criminology August, 2015, Vol 7(2): 34-48 L. Bevier _______________________________________ July, 2015, 7, 34-48 _______________________________________ The Meaning of Cultural Criminology: A Theoretical and Methodological Lineage Landon Bevier, University of Tennessee _______________________________________ Abstract The field of cultural criminology has faced much criticism concerning the perspective's perceived theoretical ambiguity and inadequate definition of its core concept: culture (O’Brien, 2005; Webber, 2007). One critique goes so far as to conclude by asking, "One has to wonder, what is cultural criminology?" (Spencer, 2010, p. 21) In the current paper, I endeavor to answer this question using the theoretical texts of cultural criminology. Whereas critics use cultural criminologists’ “own words” to evidence a lack of clarity (Farrell, 2010, p. 60), I use such words to clarify the logic, scope, and meaning of cultural criminology. In so doing, I explore the role of cultural criminology as a subfield of academic criminology; examine prior conceptualizations of 'culture' and their relation to that of cultural criminology, and trace the main methodological and theoretical antecedents from which the field emerged. ______________________________________ 34 Journal of Theoretical & Philosophical Criminology The meaning of cultural criminology August, 2015, Vol 7(2): 34-48 L. Bevier The Meaning of Cultural Criminology: A Theoretical and Methodological Lineage The field of cultural criminology has "borne many slings and arrows, more so than almost any other of the critical criminologies in the last few years" (Muzzatti, 2006, p. 74). Many such slings and arrows are aimed at the perspective's perceived theoretical ambiguity and inadequate definition of its core concept: culture (O’Brien, 2005; Webber, 2007; Farrell, 2010; Spencer, 2010).

How might it be defined? I suggest analyzing three levels of social interaction. At the first level, the culture of crime used by those committing crimes and the process of creating representations of crime in the news, entertainment products, and political position statements proceed independently. At the second level, there is asymmetrical interaction between those creating images of crime and those committing crime: offenders use media images to create crime, but cultural representations of crime in the news, official statistics, and entertainment are developed without drawing on what offenders do when they commit crime, or vice versa. At a third level, we can find symmetrical, recursive interactions between the cultures used to do crime and cultures created by media, popular culture, and political expressions about crime. Using the “Rodney King Riots” as an example, I illustrate the looping interactions through which actors on the streets, law enforcement officials, and politicians and news media workers, by taking into account each other’s past and likely responses, develop an episode of anarchy through multiple identifiable stages and transformational contingencies.

Performative Criminology and the “State of Play” for Theatre with Criminalized Women
Societies 2015, 5, 295–313; doi:10.3390/soc5020295 OPEN ACCESS societies ISSN 2075-4698 www.mdpi.com/journal/societies Article Performative Criminology and the “State of Play” for Theatre with Criminalized Women Elise Merrill * and Sylvie Frigon Department of Criminology, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON K1N 6N5, Canada; E-Mail: [email protected] * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-613-323-5713. Academic Editor: Jon Frauley Received: 27 February 2015 / Accepted: 7 April 2015 / Published: 14 April 2015 Abstract: This article applies feminist theory with cultural criminology to explore the role of theatre in the lives of criminalized women. Theatre initiatives for criminalized populations are growing worldwide, and so we are seeking to better understand how these two realms intersect. This article is based on a case study which was conducted at the Clean Break Theatre Company in London, England in the summer of 2013. We explore some of the emerging themes, which took shape from a thematic analysis. First we describe how theatre can be used as a lens into the experiences of criminalized women, and then as a tool for growth in their lives. The role of environment at Clean Break, and the role of voice from practicing theatre in a women-only environment are then discussed. Lastly, the roles of transformation and growth overall for the participants are explored in relation to their experiences with theatre practices. This article works to understand how theatre practices can elevate and adapt cultural criminology into a new form of imaginative criminology, and questions how we can embrace this form of engagement between theatre and criminology within a Canadian context.

With few exceptions, there has been little work attempting to explicitly or implicitly integrate cultural criminology with green criminology and vice versa.

On Narrative and Green Cultural Criminology
www.crimejusticejournal.com IJCJ&SD 2016 6(2): 64‐77 ISSN 2202–8005 On Narrative and Green Cultural Criminology Avi Brisman Eastern Kentucky University, United States of America Queensland University of Technology, Australia Abstract This paper calls for a green cultural criminology that is more attuned to narrative and a narrative criminology that does not limit itself to non‐fictional stories of offenders. This paper argues that (1) narratives or stories can reveal how we have instigated or sustained harmful action with respect to the environment and can portray a world suffering from the failure to effect desistance from harmful action; and (2) narratives or stories can, may and possess the potential to shape future action (or can stimulate thought regarding future action) with respect to the natural world, its ecosystems and the biosphere as a whole. A wide range of fictional stories is offered as examples and illustrations, and the benefits of a literary bend to the overall criminological endeavor are considered.

Putting the Psyche Into 'Cultural Criminology'
David W Jones: Putting the Psyche into ‘cultural’ Criminology Putting the Psyche into ‘Cultural Criminology’: A psychosocial understanding of looting, masculinity, shame and violence. David W Jones1 Abstract The widespread incidents of rioting and looting across England in August 2011 have drawn attention to debate about the links between ‘consumer culture’ and criminality. This association has particular theoretical resonance as there has been a detectable cultural turn in criminological theory, most clearly enunciated by the school of ‘cultural criminology’ (Ferrell, Hayward and Young 2008). Despite the vibrancy of such theoretical debates there is a danger that the mistakes of previous schools of criminological thought be repeated through the exclusion of the internal psychological worlds of individuals from consideration. It is argued here that culture, and in this case particularly ‘consumer culture’ needs to be understood as being, at least in part, constructed by and within the internal worlds of the individuals who make up that culture. The case is made for a more psychosocial criminology (Jones 2008; Gadd and Jefferson 2007). This is one that regards the cultural as being indivisible from the sociological and psychological. 1 Head of Psychosocial Studies, School of Law and Social Sciences, University of East London, London E16 2RD. E-Mmail: [email protected] 6 Journal of Psycho-Social Studies Volume 7, Issue 1, November 2013 Introduction "They fucked up big time, the opportunists," said a 19-year-old man from Tottenham, who observed the riots but did not loot. "If they went to parliament and stood up for what they thought was correct, they could have brought down the government, man.

Cultural Criminology : an Invitation
1 CULTURAL CRIMINOLOGY: AN INVITATION In October 2011 at a demonstration organized by the protest movement Occupy, Julian Assange, the controversial Australian activist and long-time editor-in-chief of the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, appeared outside the London Stock Exchange in a stylized Guy Fawkes mask. Stark white, with pink cheeks, a wide smile and a rakish moustache, the Guy Fawkes visage has emerged as one of the most enduring icons of the many anarchist and protest groups that have sprung up in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The origins of the mask can be traced to the classic 1982 graphic novel V for Vendetta – a dark tale of one man’s protest against a futuristic police state based loosely on the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Catholic Revolutionaries attempted to overthrow the British Government by blowing up the House of Lords (Sauter, 2012). The anti-authoritarian story struck a chord with protestors, and after V for Vendetta was adapted into a movie in 2005, the Fawkes mask emerged as a ubiquitous symbol of contempo- rary political resistance; not least, it became the ‘face’ of the international hacker group Anonymous. But while the mask served the very practical purpose of hid- ing protestors’ faces from the pervasive police surveillance that is now such a feature of political demonstrations, it also served the interests of an altogether different cultural group: the executives and shareholders of one of the world’s biggest media conglomerates. As producers of V for Vendetta, the media giant Time-Warner owns the rights to the mask’s image and is consequently paid a licensing fee with the sale of each unit.

Republican Monsters: the Cultural Construction of American Positivist Criminology, 1767-1920
Republican Monsters: The Cultural Construction of American Positivist Criminology, 1767-1920 By Chase Smith Burton A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Christopher Tomlins, Chair Professor Karen Tani Professor Jonathan Simon Professor Bryan Wagner Fall 2019 Abstract Republican Monsters: The Cultural Construction of American Positivist Criminology, 1767-1920 By Chase Smith Burton Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Christopher Tomlins, Chair This dissertation examines the history of and cultural influences on positivist criminology in the United States. From Benjamin Rush to the present day, the U.S. has produced an extensive corpus of empirical and theoretical studies that seeks to discern an objective, scientifically- grounded basis for criminal behavior. American positivist criminology has drawn on numerous subfields and theories, including rational choice / economic theory, biology, and psychology, but in all cases, maintains that a purely scientific explanation of offending is possible. This study proceeds from the perspective that divisions between scientific and non-scientific thought are untenable. Drawing on scholarship in literary criticism and sociology, I argue that positivist criminology confronts an inherent contradiction in purporting to develop a purely scientific

It begins by outlining how (Continued) 08_Chamberlain_Ch-08.indd 143 12/1/2014 10:16:23 AM (Continued) Critical criminological positions encompass a range of differing approaches, all of which have their own particular emphases and nuances, and furthermore, they have been categorised under various headings, including Marxist criminology, Radical criminology, Left Realism, Feminist criminology, Sociological criminology or the Sociology of Deviance, Peacemaking criminology and Cultural criminology, to name but a few. This chapter then discusses how influencing the develop- ment of Critical standpoints in criminology and the emphasis on the duality of structure has been the rejection of positivism and the emergence of postmodern sensibilities. This leads on to discuss how postmodernist anti-realist viewpoints accord equal validity to all perspectives and voices. This position is congruent with contemporary Critical criminology perspectives, such as Cultural criminology, as well as qualitative research methodologies.

Against the Law: Anarchist Criminology
Against the Law: Anarchist Criminology Jeff Ferrell 1998 Contents Against the Law: Through the Past, Darkly ........................ 3 Against the Law: The Spiraling Harm of Criminalization and Legal Control . 5 Against the Law: A Note on the Situated Politics of Crime and Resistance . 7 Anarchist Criminology and Anarchist Community .................... 8 A Footnote on Failure .................................... 8 [[Bibliography]] ....................................... 9 2 To live outside the law, you must be honest. – Dylan, “Absolutely Sweet Marie” Anarchism is an orientation toward social life and social relations that is ultimately no orien- tation at all. In fact, anarchism might best be thought of as a disorientation; that is, an approach which openly values fractured, uncertain, and unrealized understandings and practices as the emerging essence of social life. What follows, then, is guaranteed to be an incomplete account of anarchism and anarchist criminology, a failed attempt at orientation. This failure certainly de- rives from the account’s origins in the work of a single author, and from that author, like others, being caught up in the dementia of deadlines and daily work. But it also derives from the nature of anarchism itself. Like most all theoretical or practical models, anarchism incorporates a variety of limitations and contradictions (Feyerabend 1975). Unlike most other orientations, anarchism acknowledges and celebrates these failings, and doesn’t bother to hide them behind cloaks of absolute certainty or competence.
