Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radical criminologists argue that the capitalist system leads to the uneven distribution of wealth, power, and opportunities, which in turn shapes motivations and opportunities to engage in crime. They criticize the criminal justice system for being a tool of the ruling class, used to maintain their power and control over the working class, and for criminalizing behaviors that threaten the capitalist system. They advocate for transformative justice approaches that address the root causes of crime and social inequality, rather than relying on punitive measures.
