Title:	Socialist Humanism and the Problem of Crime

Journal:	Crime, Law and Social change Volume:23 Issue:2 Dated:(1995) Pages:147-156

Author(s):	R Quinney

Date Published:	1995

Annotation:	Crime is understood as a problem of human existence, based on assumptions about the intersubjectivity of social reality and the need for an interdisciplinary and integrated approach to criminology.

Abstract:	The view of crime as a problem of human existence is based on the relativity of human things, modes of having and being in contemporary society, the interdependence of all things, and the way of peace. The ideas of Erich Fromm are applied to the development of a peacemaking criminology, particularly in the context of social action. The author emphasizes the link between the individual's inner peace and the world's outer peace, human existence and reality, divergence between capitalism and social perspectives, and the importance of truth and knowledge in a peacemaking criminology. 25 references
