What is Labelling Criminology about?

Labelling theory in criminology shifts the focus from why individuals commit crimes to how society labels individuals as criminals, emphasizing that crime is a social construct rather than an inherent trait. The theory highlights the role of power in defining crime and the consequences of labelling, such as the creation of criminal identities and societal stereotypes. While it provides valuable insights, the theory is critiqued for its deterministic view and lack of consideration for individual agency.
