Critical Criminology

Critical Criminology is a perspective that examines how social inequalities, power structures, and economic systems influence crime and justice. Instead of just focusing on individual offenders, it looks at how factors like poverty, discrimination, and corporate influence shape what society considers criminal and how laws are enforced. This approach aims to challenge traditional views by highlighting systemic issues and advocating for social change, emphasizing that crime often results from social injustice rather than solely individual moral failings.
