Talk:Anthropological criminology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Race and crime should be merged here. Jstor article on the relation between both; Corrupting a Good Mix: Race and Crime in Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-century Spain; other article; Journal of Black Studies (subscription); etc. Tazmaniacs 23:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Another possibility might be crime statistics. I can't find any sociology of crime article, which would also be a possibility. Tazmaniacs 14:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I would prefer to see it merged to crime statistics, because that's the bulk of the article focuses on that, and anthropological criminology seems to be pretty archaic. Joie de Vivre 17:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I would leave it as its own article.Colemangracie 20:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I strongly disagree with merging the race and crime section here. Merging it with crime statistics would not work either. You're confusing a correlation between race and crime (which is the case) to believing in a causation between race in crime (which is what Anthropological criminology is about). There's a relation between the two, because Anthropological criminology is a outdated theory used to explain the facts mentioned in race and crime. Saying they should be merged is like saying that carbon dioxide should be merged with Phlogiston theory. Paladinwannabe2 15:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Where is Race and Crime?

What happened to the Race and Crime article and its discussion pages? It seems like some type of censorship to me that is going on here172.131.61.32 20:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, I guess there are some folks who simply dislike racism and don't want racist crap to be apart of the discussion. (User: 17:36 06/13/2007)

There is no reason why race should be mentioned on this page, as race has nothing to do with a genetic predisposition to commit crime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.178.186 (talk) 05:29, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
