... The emergence of critical criminology Polletta (2006) argues that bouts of collective action are set against narratives that report injustice and suggest that a (socially subjective) 'fairer' world can emerge from the mobilisation. A narrative that we do not wish to disrupt has been widely told about roots of British critical criminology can be traced back to the 1968 National Deviancy Conference (hereon NDC), held at York University (see Carlen, 2002;Jefferson, 2021;Mooney, 2011;Pavlich and Brannigan, 2007;Young, 2011). This narrative offers a group of scholars who sought to collaborate to develop a 'fairer' way of understanding crime and criminality than 'official' and Home Office analysis (Ruggiero, 2021). ...
... As Rock argues (above), the book gave birth to a new -Marxist-influenced -way of understanding 'crime and criminality' in which they sought to build upon the symbolic interactionists critiques by placing this within a conflict theory perspective to try to examine the dynamics of society as a whole. Hence, the aim of creating 'a fully social theory' of crime and deviance was born (Mooney, 2011). Alongside the Marxist assumptions about the economic base largely controlling individual behaviour, The New Criminology made two sizable methodological and philosophical contributions to understanding crime which clearly broke from the official approaches. ...
... However, at the final NDC conference -held in 1979 -Jock Young coined the term 'left idealism' to refer to the first wave of critical criminology and began to give preference to a second wave of 'left realism' critical criminology. This showed a clear fracture in the group's previous theoretical unity (Mooney, 2011). Also in 1979, Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister of Britain with an administration of the radical -and new -right. ...

... Nove teorije devijacije koje se tiču označavanja i stigmatizacije naglasile su potrebu za razvijanje osećaja za nevolje bespomoćnih, marginalizovanih i onih čiji se glas ne čuje (Downes and Rock 2011); lako je utvrditi kako su principi i naglašavanja ovog talasa inovacije u sociologiji i kriminologiji uticali na stavove u vezi tretiranja domorodaca i nepravde prema okolini. Uticaj Marksista ili kritičke kriminologije (Mooney 2013;Taylor et al. 1973), u raznim permutacijama, naglašava zločine moćnih i jačanje predrasuda u dominantnim okvirima zakona. Kritička pitanja u vezi prirode prava privatne svojine nasuprot ideje životne sredine kao zajedničkog nasleđa će se neizbežno javiti. ...
This paper traces aspects of the development of a 'green' criminology. It starts with personal reflections and then describes the emergence of explicit statements of a green criminological perspective. Initially these statements were independently voiced in different parts of the world but they reflected shared concerns. These works have found unification as a 'green', 'eco-global' or 'conservation' criminology. The paper reviews the classifications available when talking about not only legally - defined crimes but also legally perpetrated harms, as well as typologies of such harms and crimes. It then looks at the integration of 'green' and 'traditional' criminological thinking before briefly exploring four dimensions of concern for today and the future.
... Contemporary critical criminology originated in the United States and the United King dom (DeKeseredy & Dragiewicz, 2018B;Michalowski, 2012;Mooney, 2012), but the field is now characterized by international collaboration and intellectual cross-fertilization. What Schwendinger, Schwendinger, and Lynch (2008) refer to as "compatible perspec tives" are also found in countries such as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden (Ugwudike, 2015). ...
There is no single critical criminology. Rather, there are critical criminologies with differ ent histories, methods, theories, and political perspectives. However, critical criminology is often defined as a perspective that views the major sources of crime as the unequal class, race/ethnic, and gender relations that control our society. Critical criminologists op pose prisons and other draconian means of social control. Their main goal is major radi cal and cultural change, but they recognize that these transitions will not occur in the current neoliberal era. Hence, most critical criminologists propose short-term anticrime policies and practices and fundamental social, economic, and political transformations, such as a change from a capitalist economy to one based on more socialist principles.
... New deviancy theories concerned with labelling and stigmatisation had emphasised the need for sensitivity to the plight of the powerless, marginalised and voiceless (Downes and Rock IJCJ&SD 9 Online version via www.crimejusticejournal.com © 2014 3(2) 2011) and it is easy to see how the principles and emphases of this wave of innovation in the sociology of deviance and criminology informs thinking about speciesism, the treatment of indigenous peoples and environmental injustice. The influence of Marxist or critical criminology (Mooney 2013;Taylor et al. 1973), in various permutations, highlighted the crimes of the powerful and the entrenchment of bias within dominant frameworks of law. Critical questions about the nature of private property rights versus the idea of the environment as a shared heritage to be held in common for all inevitably follow. ...
This paper traces aspects of the development of a ‘green’ criminology. It starts with personal
reflections and then describes the emergence of explicit statements of a green criminological
perspective. Initially these statements were independently voiced, in different parts of the
world but they reflected shared concerns. These works have found unification as a ‘green’,

The concept of critical criminology – that crime and the present-day processes of criminalization are rooted in the core structures of society – is of more relevance today than it has been at any other time.
Written by an internationally renowned scholar, Contemporary Critical Criminology introduces the most up-to-date empirical, theoretical, and political contributions made by critical criminologists around the world. In its exploration of this material, the book also challenges the erroneous but widely held notion that the critical criminological project is restricted to mechanically applying theories to substantive topics, or to simply calling for radical political, economic, cultural, and social transformations. Now fully updated and expanded in a new edition, this book offers further coverage of new directions in critical criminology, such as green criminology, indigenous criminology, intersectionality, narrative criminology, rural critical criminology, queer criminology, semiology, critical research methods, and contemporary critical criminological policies.
This article builds on previous work that argues that a useful path for a “queer/ed criminology” to follow is one that takes “queer” to denote a position. It suggests that one way of developing such an approach is to adopt a particular understanding of critique—specifically one that draws from Michel Foucault’s view of critique as “the art of not being governed.” It then charts some of the possible directions for such a “queer/ed criminology.” While such an approach to critique has previously been discussed within critical criminologies, this article suggests that it is useful for queer criminologists to explore the opportunities that it affords, particularly in order to better appreciate how “queer/ed criminology” might connect to, draw from, or push against other currents among critical criminologies, and help to delineate the unique contribution that this kind of “queer/ed criminology” might make.
