THE DANCE OF CRIMINOLOGY WITH POLICY MAKERS AND WIDER PUBLIC

İnsanlar neredeyse her gün dikkatlerini çeken suçla ilgili bazı haberler okumakta ve haykıran başlıkları görmektedir. Greenberg ve Quinneys gibi bazı eleştirel Kriminologlar devleti bir başka değişle hükümeti suçu kontrol etmesi konusunda sorumlu görmektedir. Bu düşünceye paralel olarak insanlar hükümeti kendi ülkesinin ve halkı- nın hizmetinde olan şeklinde düşünmektedir. Bu makale başlangıçta suç gibi sosyal sorunlara karşı etkili çözümler getirmesi beklenen politikacıların rolüne ve suç önleme politikalarına halkın gösterdiği reaksiyona odaklanacak; ikinci olarak Kriminolojinin neden yeterli olarak politika yapanlar ve daha geniş halk kitleleriyle ilgili olduğunu, bazı Kriminolojik teorilerin farklı bakış açılarını içeren örnekler vererek açıklamaya çalışacak; Sonuçta ise bazı politikacıların suç ve politikalar ahkkındaki kişisel düşüncelerini yansıtacaktır. Bu makale aynı zamanda dünya üzerindeki suç istatistikleri ile ilgili bilgi sağlayacaktır.

Kriminolojinin Politikacılarla ve Geniş Halk Kitlesiyle Dansı

Almost every day people read some crime news that attracts their attention and they see screaming headlines. Some critical criminologists, such as Greenberg and Qinneys hold the state in other words, Government responsible for controlling crime. In parallel with this idea, people think of the government as being in the service of their country and community. This essay will initially focus on the role of policy makers that are expected to bring effective solutions to social problems such as crime and the reaction of the public against crime prevention policies. Secondly; some examples will be given to try to explain the reasons why criminology is sufficiently relevant to both policy makers and the wider public including information about the different approaches of some criminological theories. Finally, the essay will reflect upon the personal opinions of some policy makers regarding crime and policies. This essay will also provide some statistical information about the crime rate over the world.
