Background

[edit]

The first use of the term “public criminology” can be traced to a publication by Eamonn Carrabine, Maggy Lee, and Nigel South, however, more recent criminologists have developed the concept.[1] For example, Uggen and Inderbitzin[2] have expanded the scope of the term by suggesting it would place greater emphasis on work that informs public understandings about issues such as crime, punishment, criminal law, and criminal justice. Similarly, Loader and Sparks[3] believe that public criminology can be a tool for laying the foundations for a more open conversation about the place of criminal justice in a democratic society. Another Public Criminologist, Clifford R. Shaw, was persistent in his efforts to improve the circumstances of both communities and individuals in Chicago.[4]  Shaw studied the relationship between the neighborhoods of Chicago and crime. With the findings from his research, he formulated what is now known as social disorganization theory, which links crime crates in a neighborhood to neighborhood ecological characteristics. He conducted research in Chicago neighborhoods and involved the residents of the communities that had high crime rates and delinquency to learn from them and communicate his research findings. As time went on, Shaw founded the Chicago Area Project which was geared to reduce conditions that resulted in high delinquency.

Other notable public Criminologists,  Elliot Currie[5]and George Kirkham, have contributed to the field of Public Criminology in many ways. Elliot Currie is a professor of criminology at the University of California at Irvine who works on policy and specializes in cases of violent crime, the social context of delinquency, etiology of drug abuse and the assessment of drug policy, race and criminal justice.[6][7]George L. Kirkham was a criminologist who became a police officer. He wrote a book entitled "signal zero" in 1976 which was an attempt to change student's perceptions of a police officer.[8]

Uggen and Inderbitzin believe that the efforts of Public Criminologists can help revitalize the passions that students’ have when they begin their degree. The uniqueness and hands-on approach can inspire a future generation of public criminologists.[9]Having a more open dialogue can  reshape public debates, and policy, and bring new perspectives on crime to the table.

The response to Uggen and Inderbitzin’s research has been generally positive, however several authors have expressed concern, some are convinced that Public Criminology itself has several issues that first must be addressed,[10]a current lack of resources, such as funding, for the project,[11] the indifference of policy makers to criminological insights,[12] or a similar indifference found in academic criminology for policy-making issues.[13]

Public criminology was formed to make criminological research available to the public and to create discussions.[14][15][16] The nature of criminological research can be concerning and evoke strong emotions in the general public..[17][18][19] However, information can be skewed and misinterpreted, which is why public criminologists interpret research for the public; who may not have time or gone to higher education.  Uggen and Inderbitizin[20] believe that Public Criminology urges the public and scholars to understand new research and valuable implications.

The overall objective of public criminologists is to create discussions and provide information to the community. Researchers work to make accurate and understandable evidence available for citizens to shape their opinions with. So public misconceptions on crime, criminals, and the justice system can be reduced. Being done by providing more accurate descriptions of current problems making effective dialogues and reforms more possible.
