Describe Karl Marx contribution to the field of criminology.
What will be an ideal response?
Marx did not specifically address crime in his writings which viewed the history of all existing societies as one of class struggle. Marx believed that capitalism breeds its own destruction by giving birth to a proletarian revolution and finally a new world order of socialism. Marx’ views influenced Willem Bonger who viewed that criminal law as primarily protecting the interests of the propertied class.
