Zusammenfassung:The article discusses attempts to place new "realists" in the context of an expanding criminal justice apparatus, contradictions of monopoly capitalism and impact of present economic and political crisis on petty bourgeois intellectuals. Topics discussed include the material context under which realists' ideology flourishes, massive investment in criminal justice and ineffectiveness of police to protect working-class communities from intra-class crimes of personal and economic victimization.
