Abstract

SINCE ITS EMERGENCE AS A FRAME OF REFERENCE FOR CRIMINOLOGICAL RESEARCH, THE LABELING APPROACH HAS BEEN CRITICIZED FOR ITS EMPHASIS ON MICRO-SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRIMINALIZATION. THE INTERACTIONIST PERSPECTIVE COULD BE BROADENED IF THE PRODUCTION AND APPLICATION OF CRIMINAL LAWS WERE INTERPRETED AS A PHENOMENON OF CONFLICT. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED) --IN GERMAN
