• W1490195206 abstract "Philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. - Karl Marx Academic thinkers and writers in the U.S., unlike muckrakers and investigative journalists, rarely have enjoyed mass-audience appeal. Indeed, few academics have attempted to write, especially in recent years, for popular audiences. Sociologists and criminologists who write on critical social and political contemporary issues typically find themselves on the publishing sidelines, as journalists and lawyers take on various social issues in such divergent formats as true books (which often become major motion pictures), corporate crime exposes, or compelling accounts of various social problems, from alcoholism to xenophobia. As a result, academics, and especially sociologists and criminologists, typically write for small, professional, and student audiences as they and their work remain mostly unknown to popular audiences.(1) In fact, the prevailing logic among academics is that scholarly writers ought not tread into the waters of mass audiences. For young university faculty to do so is often an academic kiss of death, for colleagues usually dismiss such work as unprofessional, polemical, and nonacademic; popular work is often met with jealousy and does not count toward tenure, promotion, and salary increases (e.g., Jacoby, 1987a). The prevailing logic in academics is therefore to write for one's peers and to leave mass audiences to nonacademics. Although these generalities apply to most academicians, they especially apply to contemporary leftists, including sociologists and criminologists, whose analyses are consistently disregarded, unlike those of conservative and liberal academics. Critical criminologists daily live with the realities that their work is largely ignored except by a handful of concerned academics or perhaps those who are sympathetic to their interpretations of crime and justice issues. The media, and thus most Americans, simply dismiss progressive criminologists even though they may be the academics best-equipped to explain various social phenomena and especially crime, since they depart from behavioral interpretations and focus instead on the political economy of crime and punishment, the physical, economic, and symbolic consequences of corporate violence, and governmental activities that are both criminal and noncriminal, yet socially harmful. Due to their ideological interpretations of criminalization, crime, and the social reactions to it, and to their lack of popular prestige, this group of criminologists is consistently excluded from the sacred halls of legislative action (or inaction) and, as a result, has almost no voice in public policies concerning crime and justice. This article examines the lack of broader participation by critical criminologists in areas where they are quite knowledgeable and offers structural explanations for the absence of critical criminology from both the media and the formation of public policy.(2) These explanations are subsumed under two broad categories. The first are academic-structural constraints that restrict critical criminologists' participation in politics and mass audience appeal. Such constraints are part of the academic tradition, university environment, and subsequent professional lifestyles. The second are social-structural constraints that disallow individuals on the Left, no matter how knowledgeable, from being heard by the media, politicians, and as a result, the mass audience. Such constraints are part of the ideological hegemony of this society that, for the most part, dismisses both academics and leftists. Thus, left criminology professors have little hope of reaching popular audiences or establishing broad-based legitimacy. Academic-Structural Constraints The near absence of input from critical criminologists and their inconsequential impact on public policy can be attributed, in part, to the development of critical criminology itself (e. …" @default.
