ABSTRACT

Building on the insights of the late Roy Bhaskar and the late Roger Matthews, as well as some recent developments in ultra-realist criminology, this article introduces and delineates some core intellectual contours of a Critical Realist Criminology (CRC) based on the principles of:

1. The ‘emergent,’ stratified ontology of crime and of the offender;

2. the full critical realist account of the dialectics of being and becoming, including the spiritual turn in critical realism, applied to processes of criminal justice and reform;

3. maximal inclusion of diverse theoretical research positions and the primacy of ontology in methodological selection;

4. a ‘serious’ critical relationship of criminologists with professionals, institutions and policy-makers of criminal justice.

摘要

基于已故的 Roy Bhaskar 和已故的 Roger Matthews 的见解，以及超现实主义犯罪学的一些最新发展，本文基于以下原则介绍并描绘了批判现实主义犯罪学 (CRC) 的一些核心知识轮廓：

1. 犯罪和罪犯的“涌现的”分层本体论；

2. 对存在和生成的辩证法的完整批判现实主义描述，包括批判现实主义的精神转向，适用于刑事司法和改革的过程；

3. 最大限度地纳入不同的理论研究立场和本体论在方法选择中的首要地位；

4. 犯罪学家与专业人士、机构和刑事司法政策制定者之间的“严肃”关键关系。
