Durkheim and Criminology

The article offers an overview of Emile Durkheim's substantial and surprisingly diverse legacy for criminology. This is shown to run the gamut from positivism through to social constructivism. Further, it includes insights into deviance, social control and the law. Although broad in scope and often brilliant, his contribution is perhaps insufficiently acknowledged. Reasons for this oversight are given, as are some indications of future directions for Durkheimian criminology
