An Integrative Conflict Model of the Criminal Law Formation Process

EDMUND F. McGARRELL

THOMAS C. CASTELLANO

This article reviews traditional theoretical debates on the criminal law formation process and then presents an integrative, theoretical model of this process. This model suggests that an understanding of the origins of crime and justice legislation must operate on three analytical levels. These levels focus attention on the structural foundations, the actual and perceived experience of crime in a social system, and the immediate triggering events of crime and justice legislation.
