In this article, I employ an auto-ethnographic methodology as a point of departure in order to explore my path into research on the legal and illegal trade in wild animals which, over the years, has consisted of interviews with experts and enforcement agencies in Brazil, Colombia and Norway including offenders (in Norway), and analysis of verdicts, interrogation reports, and custom seizure reports from Norway. I argue that research not only may, but should be value-driven and that a researcher’s personal biography can (1) provide additional insight into a research area; (2) serve to create rapport with informants; and (3) forge an important foundation for the formulation of research questions and the analysis of empirical data. Values also provide a platform for the choice of theoretical framework that is applied and which enhance and further knowledge within the field—in this case, perspectives of harm and justice, particularly species justice and eco-justice. The article calls for a stronger interdisciplinary approach in green criminology—one that includes feminist care ethics, philosophy and compassionate conservation perspectives, and which offers a more radical critique of human exploitation of ‘wildlife’ specifically and other animals more generally. 相似文献

The relationship between critical criminology and social justice has been well documented, but efforts to provide a unified
theory of social justice that cuts across and embodies the various strains of critical criminological thought have not been
systematically researched. One useful approach for engaging in such a project comes from existential humanism, which draws
attention to a number of life themes (e.g., the struggle to be free, being and becoming, redemption) and is compatible with
critical criminology's commitment to radical social change. This article provisionally explores the boundaries of theoretical
synthesis, mindful of those complex (and thorny) issues upon which successful conceptual integration depends, including definitions,
assumptions, domains of inquiry, and modes of integration. This discussion concludes with an outline of the implications of
a commentary for the future of critical criminology and for sustainable, meaningful praxis.

Since the early 1990s, the ``new directions' in Critical Criminology have consciously excluded Marxism as being out-dated.
This article critically assesses the fundamental theoretical shifts within critical criminology. It argues that Marxism remains
as relevant as ever for analysing crime, criminal justice, and the role of the state. There is a great need for critical criminologists
to redirect their attention back to Marxist theory by developing and extending its tools of critical theoretical analysis.

This article explores the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and its educational ramifications in terms of linking critical criminology
to liberation sociology and giving greater exposure to Genocide as a criminological issue. The article provides practical
advice and theoretical insights on teaching Genocide Studies in the undergraduate classroom. I start by exploring critical
criminology and liberation sociology. I then introduce the reader to the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and resources used in my classroom.
I explore the implications for (critical) criminology of these materials. Finally I discuss issues that arose during the class.

This essay makes the case for a transformative critical feminist criminology, one that explicitly theorizes gender, one that requires a commitment to social justice, and one that must increasingly be global in scope. Key to this re-thinking of a mature field is the need to expand beyond traditional positivist notions of “science,” to embrace core elements of a feminist approach to methodology, notably the epistemological insights gleaned from a new way of thinking about research, methods, and the relationship between the knower and the known. Other key features of contemporary feminist criminology include an explicit commitment to intersectionality, an understanding of the unique positionality of women in the male dominated fields of policing and corrections, a focus on masculinity and the gender gap in serious crime, a critical assessment of corporate media and the demonization of girls and women of color, and a recognition of the importance of girls’ studies as well as women’s studies to the development of a global, critical feminist criminology. 相似文献

A hallmark of critical criminology is its critique of the traditional definition of crime. For decades, critical scholars have proposed humanistic definitions of crime that bring state violence into the purview of academic criminology—although outside of critical criminology this is a matter of great contentiousness. This study investigates the views of those involved in peace activism, but not in any way associated with academic criminology, about the application of the term ‘crime’ to war, specifically the recent US war on Iraq. Given that there is no existing research on this subject, the article also examines how peace activists define crime generally and whether they believe those responsible for the war should be regarded as war criminals. Not surprisingly, semi‐structured interviews with 13 anti‐war activists reveal significant support for elements of critical criminological definitions of crime but an unexpected concern on the part of some that the application of the term ‘crime’ to war could be counterproductive in efforts to stop state violence. The rationales for this concern, as well as those for other issues addressed in the study, are largely presented in the interviewees’ own words. 相似文献

Chaos theory (or complex systems science, CSS) has made considerable inroads across a range of social science disciplines,
including criminology. However, little has been done to assess the relevance of chaos theory for advancing a philosophical
criminology. This task is significant because it tells us something about where, how, and why most modernist theories of crime
are of limited utility when advancing the interests of justice and humanism in society. Accordingly, this article outlines
the essential features of a philosophical criminology, including its commitments to ontology, epistemology, aesthetics, and
ethics. Moreover, the contexts in which several key chaos theory principles such as iteration, sensitive dependence on initial
conditions, bifurcations, attractors, fractal space, and dissipative structures function to promote a philosophical criminology
are explored. A number of implications stemming from this analysis for purposes of critical theory building in law, crime,
and justice studies are provisionally delineated.

Although the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago wasnever known as a center for sociological theory, major contributions were made in suchareas as social disorganization, human ecology and demography, urbanism,professions, institutional development, community organization anddevelopment, as well as criminology and deviance. These theoreticalcontributions did not qualify as grand theory, but all were in the Chicago tradition of theoretically interpretive empirical work. The Project onHuman Development in Chicago Neighborhoods – Chicago-style researchat its best – continues that tradition, wherever it is practiced and whateverits specific aims. 相似文献

Through a critical examination of some of the prevailing arguments for establishing a criminology of genocide, this paper seeks to demonstrate the limitations of mainstream criminological frameworks for understanding genocide. Moreover, it argues that, if we are to move beyond a mechanical application of the criminological canon to this thus far understudied area of criminal behaviour, we must develop a critical and reflexive criminological approach to the topic of genocide. In this manner, the analysis presented here follows in the footsteps of Bauman [Bauman (1989). Modernity and the Holocaust. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press] by asking: what can genocide teach us about criminology? In addressing this question, three guidelines for a future criminology of genocide are proposed. Briefly put, a criminology of genocide should be: (1) reflexive and non-redemptive; (2) ‘undisciplined’ and critical; and, (3) responsible. 相似文献

While economic crime and itscontrol deserve the scrutiny of criticalcriminology, there are problems in being acritical economic crime criminologist. The conclusion that criminal law in this areabe strictly and consistently enforced seemsinconsistent with critical criminology'swarnings regarding the dangers ofcriminalization as a response to socialproblems. This article reports upon thisdilemma in the specific context of research ona recent Finnish initiative to combat economiccrime that resulted in the authors engaging inpolicy-debates to argue for even greatercriminalization of such crime. The articledescribes and reflects upon thispro-criminalization strategy. It provides anoverview of the research project and some ofthe dangers associated with the advocacy ofgreater criminalization that emerged from it,and which is raised more generally by criticalcriminologists. It concludes by justifyingwhy, in the particular context within whichthis project was conducted, the approachadopted towards conducting the research,disseminating findings, and advocatingcriminalization. 相似文献
