Emergent theories are new, developing criminological theories that challenge and/or expand existing theories that have dominated explanations of criminal behavior. Feminist criminology emphasizes gender issues and stresses the usefulness of applying feminist thinking to criminological analysis. Postmodern criminology builds on the tenets of postmodern thought. Because it challenges and debunks existing perspectives, it is considered deconstructionist.
