Document Summary
Every aspect of society were indispensable to the long term society. Order and consensus are manufactured by the powerful groups over the powerless groups in society. Society is not characterized by equality between individuals, but rather by social, political, and economic inequalities in society. Cultural criminology is often hindered by the lack of a clear definition of culture. Culture: production and exchange of meanings between members of a society or a social group. Criminology itself is no longer insulated from other kinds of academic trends within the university. Criminology has seen and perceives itself to be a science of crime, and its research has traditionally been carried out by psychologists, sociologists, and legal scholars. But the influence of postmodern theorizing had an impact on criminology through cultural criminology. They pay attention to new kinds of theories and methods. Cultural criminology is an area of inquiry that is been shaped by other disciplines.
