Peacemaking Criminology
Abstract
This is an overview of the work of criminologists that informs how people
build trust, safe and social security in the face of violent social
differences. The article begins with a story of how the term “peacemaking” came
to “criminology.” A theory of peacemaking emerging from this beginning is then
stated, including a review of criminological literature that informs the
theory. The theory is grounded in a paradigmatic departure from criminology’s
tradition—the study of crime and criminality—to proposing instead of studying
what replaces human separation with cooperation and mutual trust. This paradigm
implies that stories of dispute handling are its most authoritative data,
especially stories people tell about their own relations. It also implies new
ways of evaluating the fruits of adopting a peacemaking paradigm for learning
and living.
