CONT

La criminologie critique s'est avant tout développée dans la foulée de la criminologie radicale des années 1970, laquelle s'est largement alimentée auprès du marxisme et de l'École de Frankfurt [...] L'objectif de la criminologie radicale consiste alors à rendre apparentes les contradictions propres au régime capitaliste et les contraintes structurelles qui s'exercent sur certains groupes vulnérables afin de proposer des solutions politiques autres.
