, "I take criminology to be a specific genre of discourse and inquiry about crime - a genre that has
developed in the modern period and that can be distinguished from other ways of taking and thinking
about criminal conduct" - --Garland
"criminology is a strange beast with organism in applied medico legal science, psychiatry, a scientifically
oriented psychology and in nineteenth century social reform movements, for much of the second half of
the twentieth century British criminology was dominated by sociology or at least a predominantly
sociological approach to criminology..." - --Newburn
"criminology like leeches, live off a very large body on which they are wholly parasite. in the same way
that out courts, prisons, probation officers and police 'need; crime, so does the criminologists..." - --
Cohen
"the only purpose got which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of civilised community
against his will is to prevent harm to others. his own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient
warrant. he cannot rightfully be compelled to do or fore bear because in the opinion of others to do so
would be wise or even right" - --John Stuart Mill
'crime is an intentional act in violation of the criminal law... committed without defence or excuse,
penalised by the state as a felony or misdemeanour. in studying the offender that can be no
presumption that... persons are criminal unless they also be held guilty beyond reasonable doubt of a
particular offence' - --Tappan
'the essential characteristics of crime is that it is behaviour which is prohibited by the state as an injury
to the state may react, at least as a last resort, by punishment. the two abstract criteria generally
regarded by legal scholars as necessary elements in a definition of crime are legal description of an act
as socially harmful and legal provision of a penalty for the act' - --Sutherland
male in se - --offenses that are wrong by their very nature
mala prohibita - --offenses prohibited by law but not wrong in themselves
