Abstract

The principal epistemological characteristics of criminology have been, first, to conceptualize crime as an individual phenomenon and, second, to measure criminal behavior by definitions provided by domestic political authorities. What are the implications and sustaining factors of these criminological ways of knowing?

Can we adopt, instead, an alternative framework that moves criminology toward emphasizing the globally harmful behaviors of the state? What would underlie a peacemaking criminology?
