CONT

Proche parente de la criminologie de la réaction sociale, à laquelle elle est souvent assimilée, la criminologie critique se distingue des autres criminologies du fait qu'elle cherche à demeurer critique par rapport à la délimitation de ses objets et à la production du savoir criminologique traditionnel. À cet égard, la criminologie critique se donne pour mission de constamment questionner les a priori théoriques et les idées reçues concernant le crime et les mesures mises en place pour y répondre.
