The Social Reality of Crime

Crime is understood as a problem of human existence. Assumed is the intersubjectivity of social reality, and the need for an interdisciplinary and integrative approach to criminology. Along the way, a consideration of (1) the relativity of things human, (2) the modes of having and being in contemporary society, (3) the interdependence of all things, and (4) the way of peace. The ideas of Erich Fromm are germane to our thinking in the development of a peacemaking criminology.

Class, state, and crime

ABSTRACT The focus of this paper is on criminology and public policy as peacemaking. It offers a challenge to criminologists to reexamine their personal and professional agenda. Criminologists are encouraged to support and engage in a “compassionate criminology” that recognizes the interrelatedness of everything: that everyone is connected to each other and to their environment. Compassion, wisdom, and love are essential to understanding the suffering of which we are all a part and to practicing a criminology of nonviolence. A compassionate criminology advocates cooperation and compassion rather than competition, exploitation, and greed.
