What is meant by "emergent perspectives"? Explain in detail two emergent perspectives on crime causation
What will be an ideal response?
Emergent perspectives are new and developing criminological perspectives. Answers should discuss feminist criminology, which emphasizes gender issues in criminology, and postmodern criminology, which challenges existing criminological perspectives to debunk them and that works toward replacing them with concepts more applicable to the postmodern era. Answers may also include a review of biosocial criminology, as the text does state that this is an emergent perspective as well.
