• W782012116 abstract "Some thoughts on Steve Hall's Theorizing Crime and Deviance: A New PerspectiveContextIn order to assess the value of such an ambitious book as Theorizing Crime and Deviance, it seems necessary first of all to consider the context of its emergence. How can we evaluate criminology and what are its prospects as the twentieth century fades from view and in retrospect the political, economic and social character of the twenty-first century becomes a little clearer and more comprehensible? How is criminology faring in comparison to other cognate fields in the social sciences and humanities? Why might the author of this book feel that 'a new perspective' is necessary, and is there genuine novelty and explanatory power in the author's analysis?I often hear that academic criminology is in robust health. Apparently our discipline is growing at a remarkable rate. Criminology is now taught across the world and students are flocking to our undergraduate programmes. I also hear that we are an increasingly diverse discipline. This is not simply a matter of women and ethnic minorities moving into academic criminology to pursue their own independent research agendas, and nor is it a simple reflection of the rapid rise of criminology in Asia and the Global South. What is startling is the breadth of our discipline and our growing tendency to identity niche areas of study that might better reflect the diversity of the postmodern multitude, their intersectional relations, their structural situations, their cultural norms, their dreams and desires, their concerns and fears, and the various disciplinary systems that attempts to control their lives. These days, criminologists often wander quite far from what was our principle object of inquiry, and this is usually regarded as a positive development suggestive of our growing disciplinary confidence and assertiveness.I tend to take the opposite view. I believe that academic criminology has lost much of its early intellectual vitality. There is a dearth of new ideas and concepts that are sorely needed to address the current reality of twenty-first century post-crash capitalism and its manifold and rapidly mutating problems of crime and harm. While some fields in the social sciences have similarly failed to evolve and produce new ideas in keeping with these turbulent times, other disciplines external to social science - most notably continental European philosophy, radical economics, political theory and a revived psychoanalysis - are moving forward with some rapidity and providing us with new ways of grasping our unique historical conjuncture.We live in a world of often quite breath-taking inequality and injustice. What once seemed to be the certainties of modernity are now well behind us. We are already seeing the first indications of climate change, resource wars, state terrorism and mass migration into the chaotic, claustrophobic and unequal urban environments of the new mega-cities. In the vacuum created by the decline of traditional oppositional politics, the rise of new nationalisms, some deeply racist and hostile in both the defensive and offensive senses, can now be clearly identified on the horizon. At the same time technology - especially media and communications technology - develops at a runaway pace and new illegal markets are burgeoning amid this turbulent change. Criminology lags behind other disciplines in addressing these changes. Perhaps that is reasonable enough to expect from a discipline that has only recently learnt to crawl out of its administrative cocoon and face the world, but it still leaves us way off the pace.For instance, the discipline has failed to come to terms with the systemic fraud and malpractice associated with corporate finance and the banking industry. It has yet to develop persuasive and theoretically nuanced accounts of the crime drop, and its empirical picture and theoretical explanations of the mutation of criminal markets as the internet opens up new avenues for illegal entrepreneurship are sparse and unconvincing to say the least. …" @default.
