Within new critical criminology, what are the differences between left realism, peacemaking, and postmodernism?

What will be an ideal response?


Correct Answer:
Left Realism: Attempts to translate radical ideas into realistic social policy; insists on social justice as a policy objective. Peacemaking: Combines criminology with a transcendental or religious approach; seeks to mediate conflict, assist victims, and reintegrate offenders into the community. Postmodernism: Examines how knowledge is constituted, the significance of language and signs, and how metaphors and concepts capture reality and set the context and conditions in which crime occurs.
