Newsmaking Criminology

Newsmaking criminology to "expose the underlying cultural and political-economic nature of the crime problem, and to draw the necessary connections between this nature and the way in which crime is defined as a particular type of individual pathology or social problem" (barak, 1994, p. 21). This means those practicing this are looking to overthrow mainstream discourse and replace them with those that support peacekeeping (or peacekeeping criminology).
