Criminology seems to have an
identity crisis. Should it it be an activist field ? Should it be a science? A humanist field? Answers are not obvious. Our only hope to control crime rests on science, however. Goals influence one’s approach. To deny this is to guarantee failure,

Here's a solution; the Royal Society can't/won't deal with poor conduct by members when it occurs, or give in to their crying and whining, we (Maori) simply ignore the Society, don't become fellows, set up our own 'societies' and leave them to themselves

By far the best statement on the insincerity of the NZ criminal justice systems 'indigenisation' programme I have ever read:
"A skin of tikanga lies over the justice system, but the meat of it has been scraped away".
Connie Buchanan
"It was a reminder of how much easier it is to say “that’s just how those people are” than it is to pick away the crust and ask “who among us allowed this to happen again?"
Is this justice?

Imagine basing your denigrating comments on Indigenous knowledge on a piece that purposely misrepresents Indigenous knowledge and not bothering to do the 'sciency' thing and checking the validity of the authors claims
Creationism is still bollocks even if it is “Indigenous Ways of Knowing” bollocks. Doubtless of great anthropological and aesthetic interest but not science and not true.
SHAME on the NZ Royal Society.

I have always been impressed with the massive level of self-belief and ego that 'scientific' criminologists possess, as exhibited in their belief that 'their way is the only way', and if not, the discipline is in crisis - the waft of entitlement comes across strongly :-)
Much discussion occurred over my post about criminology’s identity crisis. Many read many things into it, which is predictable given its abstract nature and the numerous different perspectives in criminology. I wanted to clarify what I meant when I posted—A thread.
