The Social Reality of Crime
Richard Quinney
1. Advanced capitalist economy is the
foundation of American society.
2. The state works to serve the
interests of the capitalist ruling
class.
3. Criminal law is merely an
instrument of that class to
perpetuate the current social and
economic order.
Richard Quinney
4. A variety of institutions run by governmental
elites representing the interests of the ruling
class, are utilized for crime control with the
purpose of establishing domestic order.
5. The coercion and violence of the legal
system are necessary to maintain the
required oppression of the subordinate
classes, because of the inherent
contradictions of advanced capitalism.
6. A new society based on socialist principles is
a necessary part of the solution to crime
control. This cannot occur without the
collapse of the capitalist society. (Quinney,
1974.a/p.16).
