| Description | The discipline of criminology has failed to provide a coherent framework for understanding the diverse phenomenon-such as those noted abovewhich we refer to as “hate crimes.” The discipline has not seriously addressed the sociocultural underpinnings of the violent oppression of subordinate communities. As the following brief critique will reveal, traditional criminological theories lack sufficient explantory power in the context of hate crime. However, the contemporary framework referred to as structured action theory provides a valuable corrective to the limitations of criminological theory in helping us to understand the subjective and structural underpinnings of hate crime. Specifically, it allows us to conceptualize hate crime as a mechanism for the relational construction of difference. Book Name: Controversies in Critical Criminology |
