RT Article T1 Jock Young and the development of left realist criminology JF Critical criminology VO 23 IS 2 SP 165 OP 177 A1 Lea, John A2 Young, Jock 1942-2013 LA English YR 2015 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1850454469 AB This article traces Jock Young’s contribution to the development of Left Realist criminology beginning with the political interventions of the mid 1980s progressing through the development of the ‘square of crime’ as the conceptual framework for a Left Realist research programme to some of the final formulations in his later works. The emphasis of the article is less on critical receptions of Left Realism by the wider criminological community than on demonstrating the consistency of Jock’s commitment to following through the implications of the Left Realist paradigm.
