Untitled[edit]

I think that this term should also devote some attention to critical perspectives on transnational organized crime. There is considerable scholarship that would contest this entry as functionalist 'cowboy' criminology. This view suggests simply that there are bad guys out there and good guys who get them. A critical perspective steps back not once but twice (Cohen, 1988, Against Criminology, Newbrunswick NJ.: Transaction Publishers, p. ix). It makes a distinction between three orders of reality in the subject of criminology - first the 'thing' itself (crime and the apparatus of its control); second research and speculation about this thing (description, classification, causal theory, normative and technical solutions to crime as a 'problem'); and third, reflection about the nature of the enterprise itself.

I've never seen a bigger bunch of bumwad in my life as this load of wank purporting to be an encyclopedia article.

NOTE - I agree with the substance of the above comment, if not its phrasing - this is a really BAD Wikipedia entry, mostly made up of meaningless academic mumbo-jumbo. Instead it could have useful information - descriptions of UN and other international work and organizations and conventions, for example. I would recommend deleting much of its substance (specifically, everything under "Critical Perspectives" and "Deconstructing"), as possibly suited for somebody's grad school paper but not at all suitable for Wikipedia. 169.253.194.1 (talk) 14:46, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
