This study explores the tendency of academic criminology and other crime‐related areas 10 accept or reject the new criminology as a viable alternative to the traditional perspective.

The results of this study lead to the conclusion that mainstream criminology has slipped its traditional boundaries and the new criminology is gaining acceptance.
