Zusammenfassung der Ressource

Left Realism
  1. Jock Young
    1. developed for the need to take rising crime seriously and to produce practical solutions
      1. developed due to the influence of right realism on government policy
        1. society is unequal and ruled by capitalist class

          Anmerkungen:

          • similar to marxists 
          1. differ from marxism - reformists not revolutionists

            Anmerkungen:

            • believe in gradual change rather than violent overthrow of capitalism 
            • need to develop explanations of crime that will lead to practical strategies for reducing it here and now rather than to wait for a classless society to abolish crime
        2. Taking crime seriously
          1. Marxists - concentrate on corporate crime; neglects working class crime
            1. Neo-marxists - romanticise working class criminals; whereas they victimise other working class people
              1. Labelling theorists - see working class criminals as victims of discriminatory labelling; neglects the real victims (working class who suffer at the hands of criminals)
                1. crime has risen since 50s has led to aetiological crisis (view it as report in w/c crime has increased and not a real increase)
                  1. increase is too great to be explained this way = real increase

                    Anmerkungen:

                    • use victim surveys for evidence
                2. Causes of crime
