Week 11 - Explaining crime

Crime, Gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation:

Postmodernism:

- Jock Young - Sees society as characterised by complex, global, capitalist
economies.
- Shift support from state support and welfare.

Postmodern criminology is the rejection of modern criminology.

Classical criminology - People have free will, they are the one that makes the
choice to commit a crime.

Modern criminology - Not everyone is completely to blame.

Marginalised voices in criminology:

- Criminology - continues to be a masculine and western dominated discipline.
- Limited views and perspectives from other ethnicities, LGBTQIA

Female crime:

- In 2019 the most common offence that women were prosecuted for was TV
licence evasion.
- Does not mean women can't commit violent crimes.

Lombroso:

Most women are “incapable” of deviant acts. - Biologically, physically and
intellectually.

Women are seen as more like, weak and passive. - “less evolved than men”

Criminal women are dysfunctional biologically - Lacked maternal statistics and
instincts, atavistic characteristics.

Sigmund Freud - Psychological Determinism

- Women are inferior to men - destined to be a wife and a mother.
- Women that commit crimes are acting for revenge.
- Unrequited longing - Becomes “neurotic, assuming more masculine traits”.
