Analyzing the cultural criminology approach to race and gender

Cultural criminology explores the many ways in which cultural dynamics intertwine with the practices of crime and crime control in contemporary society; in other words, cultural criminology emphasizes the centrality of meaning and representation in the construction of crime as momentary event, subcultural endeavor, and social issue. The approach of this branch of criminology to gender and race is different from the approaches of other criminology disciplines i.e. it has a critical and distinct view about the crime definition, victim definition and the dominant orthodox criminology, etc. cultural criminology considers the issues that are overlooked by the more conventional and dominant criminology. The research vacuum in the field of cultural studies of women, as well as lack of enough interest and willingness to address race and gender-related issues in classical criminology, has made cultural criminology a progressive important issue. The purpose of the present article is to analyze the method and the effect of this approach on realization or non-realization of the ideals of criminology in relation to the two main topics in the human new sciences; that is, race and gender by using descriptive – analytic method. In this regard, it seems that cultural criminology has acted as an efficient and effective science; therefore, the legal community, sociologists and policymakers should consider it more thoroughly Cultural criminology explores the many ways in which cultural dynamics intertwine with the practices of crime and crime control in contemporary society; in other words, cultural criminology emphasizes the centrality of meaning and representation in the construction of crime as momentary event, subcultural endeavor, and social issue.
