“…Fourth, the ALC paradigm has allowed criminology to grow and prosper as a discipline. ALC has encouraged scholars to value theory and to create a lengthy body of theoretical explanations that fill our books (see, e.g., Cullen and Agnew, 2011; Cullen and Wilcox, 2010; Lilly, Cullen, and Ball, 2011). As noted, ALC also has provided a paradigm in which scholars could find seemingly unending research puzzles that could be explored for publication and reward.…”

KEYWORDS: adolescence-limited criminology, criminological paradigms, organization of knowledge, sociology of knowledge For over a half century, criminology has been dominated by a paradigm-adolescence-limited criminology (ALC)-that has privileged the use of self-report surveys of adolescents to test sociological theories of criminal behavior and has embraced the view that "nothing works" to control crime. Although ALC has created knowledge, opposed injustice, and advanced scholars' careers, it has outlived its utility. The time has come for criminologists to choose a different future. Thus, a new paradigm is needed that is rooted in life-course criminology, brings criminologists closer to offenders and to the crime event, prioritizes the organization of knowledge, and produces scientific knowledge that is capable of improving offenders' lives and reducing crime.Born in 1951, I grew up at a time of major transition in American society. I spent my childhood in the relative peacefulness of the 1950s, attending a predominantly Irish-Catholic elementary school in Boston. With hand over heart and a small carton of milk in hand, we pledged allegiance to the flag flying just to the side of a photo of President Dwight Eisenhower-drinking * At least in my case, it has taken a village to make a Sutherland Award winner-and so my sincere gratitude is extended to my family, friends in the field, current and former students, and colleagues at the University of Cincinnati. Unfortunately, I have space to thank by name only those scholars who have been most instrumental in shaping my thinking on the ideas in this address. They include Michael

“…Despite these differences, scholars generally agree that corporate crimes are primarily committed for the corporate benefit in contrast to other forms of whitecollar crime which benefit the individual. Although the distinction between organized and corporate crime has been criticized, the former is mostly seen as an informal organization of people working together with the sole purpose of committing crimes, while corporate crime involves formal organizations without an organizational goal to commit crimes that commit crimes to achieve these goals (Friedrichs, 2010). While corporate crimes are sometimes portrayed as victimless, or as merely producing economic harm, many types also produce physical harm.…”

“…Eventually hundreds of families were evacuated form the area and about 70 acres of land were fenced off. The company was compelled to pay US$20 million to former residents (Friedrichs 2010). In the aftermath, the US created the so-called Superfund to clean up hazardous waste dumpsites.…”

Green Crimes and Dirty Money

This paper focuses on the waste-crime nexus. We discuss which implications different criminological approaches to the waste-crime nexus and their respective etiological explanations and views on financial incentives hold for crime control and harm prevention. After all, the criminogenic opportunities of waste as a product and a sector are utilized by corporations as well as criminal organizations. This makes waste crime a topic of research for corporate crime and organized crime scholars. Moreover, waste crime is also a topic of green criminological research. For each of these three perspectives, we discuss what consequences the theories have for controlling and preventing waste crime and whether the contemporary regulation and enforcement answers to these requirements. Besides existing criminological studies on waste crime, this paper builds on the finds of our own studies on the Dutch waste sector and the Belgian trade in e-waste. We also pay attention to how these three criminological perspectives are reflected in reports and recommendations on waste crime by NGOs and international governmental organizations. For each of the three perspectives, we discuss a couple of prominent cases of waste crime that reflect the framing of the nature and the causes of the theoretical perspectives.

“…Posteriormente, Burgess y Akers (1966) basándose en la importancia del grupo de iguales para el aprendizaje de las conductas delictivas en jóvenes de Sutherland (1947;1939), proponen la Teoría del Aprendizaje Social (Akers, 2010;Burgess & Akers, 1966). Esta teoría incorpora el concepto conductista "Condicionamiento Operante" por el cual la conducta delictiva surgiría no sólo a causa del aprendizaje a partir de las conductas del grupo de iguales, sino también mediante refuerzos y castigos.…”

“…Brevemente, éste sugiere que la exposición a los iguales antinormativos es la causa del comportamiento antisocial en adolescentes, de acuerdo con las teorías de aprendizaje social. El grupo de iguales antinormativos valoran las conductas y actitudes antisociales, y proporcionan la oportunidad para la formación de actitudes y conductas antinormativas a través del modelado y el refuerzo (Akers, 2010;Borsari & Carey, 2001;Burfeind & Bartusch, 2010;Hoeben et al, 2016;Pratt et al, 2010). Desde las teorías del aprendizaje social, la conducta que se aprende en un entorno antisocial normal, es decir, las personas no violan las normas de su propia subcultura, ellos solo desobedecen las normas de la cultura dominante.…”
