CONSTITUTIVE PENOLOGY
Constitutive penology is an extension of postmodernist constitutive criminological
theory. Its proponents argue that societal responses to crime are interrelated with the
wider society, particularly through “crime and punishment” talk.
Constitutive penology is an alternative vision for responding to harm without
simultaneously reproducing the prison-form or its constitutive parts. In order to avoid
engaging in such constitutive prison work, while nonetheless specifying how such
injury or violence can be addressed by examining two facets of constitutive
penological theory.
