criminology
criminology, realist
criminology, realist Sometimes also termed ‘Left Realism’, realist criminology emerged in the mid-1980s, in the work of Jock Young and others in Britain (see, for example, the special issue of
Contemporary Crises, 1988
). Its proponents emphasize social causes of
crime, and interaction between agencies of
social control (such as the police and courts), the offender, the victim, and the public. They consider the choices facing individuals in restricting circumstances, and draw strongly upon theories of relative
deprivation and
subcultures.
