In his work, Foucault emphasized certain themes in criminology including individualization, differentiation, and normalization. This author argues that, while those concepts are still adhered to by many present-day criminologists, other experts are now presenting a counter-discourse which criticizes those themes and offers new concerns and issues for discussion. Foucault focused primarily upon the prison and the relations between psychiatry and the law. This author maintains that Foucault's analysis should be viewed as a genealogy of one element of criminology rather than as a history of the entire discipline. He outlines an agenda for research that would allow the development of a more complete understanding of the discipline's intellectual, institutional, and social and cultural history. 8 notes and 47 references
