Peacemaking criminology is an alternative approach to crime that endorses nonviolent, socially just methods for dealing with victims and offenders and, ultimately, achieving social control. It lies in direct opposition to the war on crime model that seeks social control through coercion, intimidation, and, sometimes, violence. Peacemaking is viewed as a radical departure from the warmaking model that is so pervasive in the criminal justice system. Advocates of peacemaking laud it as a solution for not only crime but a host of social ills, including poverty, homelessness, racism, and sexism. Some critics view it as naïve and soft on crime.
