Critical criminologists- critique that confronts inequalities and social suffering with promises of more just outcomes. Critical in critical criminology implies transformation though promises of justice by judgement, but also with deciding separating out, discerning, selecting, differentiating, and so on. Critique typically implies that we are judging something against a normative standard held out as the ultimate. Approach that goes beyond judgement- judge the success and failure of criminal justice policies that involves destabilizing seemingly well anchored relations in an effort to form new patterns.
