Crime, Radical/Marxist Theories of
As a subset of critical theory, Marxist or radical theory challenges mainstream criminological theory to focus less on the crimes of the powerless and more on the crimes of the powerful.

White and Frederiksen (2000 White, B. Y. and Frederiksen, J. R. 2000. “Metacognitive …
