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.
