description

Cultural Criminology is a methodological, theoretical and interventionist-oriented approach to the study of crime and deviant behavior and their social control . Cultural Criminology sees itself as qualitative social research and is based on ethnographic field research . Crime is seen as a manifestation of cultural development. In the Cultural Criminology it comes specifically to the understanding of the actors and their actions.

The approach draws on the knowledge and methods of various academic disciplines such as sociology , anthropology and literary studies and can currently hardly be delimited thematically. That is why cultural criminology is accused of being arbitrary.
