Abstract:

Much can be recovered for a social structural criminology that is better balanced between macro and individualist criminology. Early Marxist criminologists, Durkheim, Robert K Merton, can still be drawn upon. Institutional anomie theory and the theory of collective efficacy in the 1990s laid important new foundations for a macrocriminology that can imagine a society that simultaneously enjoys more freedom and less crime. Sun Yat Sen’s Chinese republicanism is helpful to that ambition. John Braithwaite attempts to take a new step toward a society with less crime and more freedom in his 2022 open access book, Macrocriminology and Freedom.

We look forward to seeing you at this event! For more information about IAS, please visit the website of IAS at https://ias.um.edu.mo/. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at ias.programme@um.edu.mo.
