[edit] Interesting Article

This really is a potentially great, interesting article. I hope it isn't going to be forgotten about and that the people who know what they are talking about can find the time to finish it off.Astralusenet 19:19, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

This piece really needs some serious work. In terms of groups of ideas in criminology feminism is seperated from the rest of those here (feminist criminology grew to an extent out of critical criminology as a criticism of it and mainstream (or 'malestream') criminology. However, left realism (which has it's own article, and belongs there although some words about it are needed here), 'true' critical criminology and abolitionism, all emerged from (certainly in the UK) the National deviancy conference (see seperate article) which isn't mentioned. AS needing to be mentioned is the US 'marcist accounts which are included but in a sort of confused way as they developed at the same time as the NDC was in existence. There is a good book on Critical Criminology in Europe by Rene van Swaaningen that would help in sorting out this muddle.Votemoose (talk) 08:03, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
