Critical Victimology

Abstract

Social disciplines have been built, particularly, in the evolution of modernity under the construction of theoretical frameworks that respond to a particular way of understanding social reality and being in it. They are constituted as interpretive tools that offer methodological tools that support a theoretical explanation of a specific reality that, when accepted by the scientific community of the discipline in question, can influence to a greater or lesser extent the legal systems in certain geographical contexts. Victimology does not escape this path; it has been built under this inertia that yields at least three victimological paradigms that attest to its evolution and explain the way in which they influence the legislation of the matter.
