R H Burke   An Introduction to Criminological Theory   2001 first publication.   Review by Raeto West: 5 July 2023
Fairly newly-invented as a quasi-discipline. Fascinating to see the way Jewish censorship evades all the serious issues.
How a new 'discipline' is invented and advertised.


        Looks like an expanding industry! Just a few criminology titles online in 2023.
 



I recently found a copy of An Introduction to Criminological Theory, which turned out to be from a small publisher, Willan Publishing. A 2001 book in a 'used book' sale. Ten years ago I'd spoken to a woman who'd started a degree in criminology, but thrown it over, on finding it too weak and pro-criminal. I bought this book with revisionism in mind: it's well-known that a lot of crime is generated by such outfits as the CIA and FBI under Jewish pressure. This edition was in fact a reprint after 9/11. I wondered if a textbook would mention such things—expecting a fairly emphatic "no", and getting it.
      At the same time, it seemed likely such a book might be a specimen of the way in which new subjects are invented for academics to teach, write about, and generally make money out of; an insight into the way Jews control college and university discourses, and invent and control new quasi-subjects, with the secret object of releasing large numbers of propagandised youths into the world, like sterile insects sent out to remove their unaltered fellows from circulation.

I'd never heard of the author, Roger Hopkins Burke, as far as I remember. He later also appears as Roger Hopkins-Burke. He's not included in Wikipedia, which is basically just Jew-controlled comment, of mixed quality. I'd guess he is, or in modern parlance, "identifies as" Jewish. Though on the other hand he seems to have been bypassed by the Jewish publishing promotion machine, finding only a small publisher and printer, both in Devon. I don't know about the Portland, Oregon, or whether the edition was in US-English.
      The book market in any promising new discipline must presumably be like the early computer book market, which I remember—lots of publishers were looking for titles. Maybe Burke wanted to try gate-crashing; I just don't know. Burke seems to have been in some part of the civil service, then lectured at 'The Scarman Centre' at Leicester University. Scarman is fairly well-known in Britain as the origin of the idea that the police were infused with 'racism', and helped with the farce of the media coverage of the Lawrence murder or death.
      So prima facie he must have adopted that attitude, recognisable now as a Jewish construction; if not, he'd neve have been accepted. He was appointed, or otherwise became, Director of the Nottingham Crime Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University. Where he still appears to be, which suggests he may not be Jewish at all, since assorted dim Jews get easy promotion.

It interested me to find that the book used 'theory' as a synonym for guesswork or conjecture, not so much for hard empirical research. As long as something is in print, it would do for a syllabus. It's more like criminography, in fact, like bibliography and historiography, though such a word is unlikely to be used. It's like the later 'critical race theory' or 'LGBT+ theory', which allows any rubbish to be sneaked in.

The book is divided into these sections. (I've copied them here to try give the feel of the book; tthe chapter are divided into 4 to 8 sections). I've missed : 1 Introduction |Part One: The rational actor model... 2 classical criminology | 3 Populist conservative criminology | 4 Contemporary rational actor theories | Part Two: The predestined actor model | 5 Biological theories | 6 Psychological theories | 7 Sociological theories | Part 3: The victimised actor model | 8 Labelling theies | 9 Conflict and radical theories | 10 Feminist perspectives | 11 Critical criminology | Part Four: Integrated explanations... | 12 Socio-biological theories | 13 Environmental criminology | 14 Social control theories | 15 Left realism | 16 Conclusion: Crime and postmodernity | References 20 pages, mostly books Glossary About 70 terms, such as antisocial personality disorder 'interchangeable' with psychopathology Author Index | Subject index

Burke's book is going strong, accompanied by a phalanx of similar books (including Criminology for Dummies). The 2018 'revised and expanded fifth edition' seems largely similar—the only new stuff seems to be 'desistance theories', and 'the risk society, postmodern condition and terrorism'. And the 'new edition also features comprehensive coverage of recent developments in criminology, including 'the myth of the crime drop', the revitalization of critical criminology and political economy, shaming and crime, defiance theory, 'coerced mobility theory' and new developments in social control and general strain theories.

People of the hypermodern revisionist school will detect problems in all this, which are of course associated with Jewish control. They will note the simple Marx-style ideas of the past, such as the fanatic subdivisions into two, echoing Jews vs 'goyim' ('All previous history is class history') down to fine points such as transportation to the colonies (often used to try to fill those areas) and the connection of supposed abolition of slavery with new machiney. They will note the absence of early legal ideas, which are more-or-less ignored, and the substitution of things like 'feudalism' and 'capitalism'. They will note the complete absence of such things as the Dutch war to install the Bank of England, and the absence of any comment on what could be considered subsequent crimes. They will note the absence of consideration of secret societies such as Freemasonry and Common Purpose, and any crimes related to them. They will note the absence of the Jewish 'Kahal' policy, and the related attempt to sharply differentiate between Jews and 'goyim'. They will note how 'predestination' is the same thing as being unalterably 'chosen'. They will note differential application of systems—for example, 'shiksas' being fair game for rape and prostitution, which of course are ignored by Burke. They won't mention the late 19th-century planned flooding of Jews into Europe and the USA, and the resulting tide of 'psychopath' behaviours characteristic of Jews. All Burke's categories lean to innocentizing criminals—it's an analogous process to Jews in the USSR terrorising Russians by releasing criminals. Even the 'actor' phrasing has that effect.
      Even in 2003, Burke's book makes no mention of 9/11, or for that matter Silverstein. There's nothing on war crimes—which suits the official view to both Britons and Americans. Nothing on Iraq, for example. The only exception is the rubbish of Auschwitz, which is said to be 'undoubtedly the crime of the twentieth century'. There's the usal crop of Jews, who of course are never identified: names by now largely in the past: Dahrendorf, Swartz, Cohen, Godfredson, Hirsch, Durkheim, Kretschmer, Rose, Bernstein ...

Religion (remember Eysenck on jailed Catholics) and ideology are not indexed. Nor is 'conspiracy', though conspiracies to steal are considered worse than single 'actors'. I noticed with some embarrassment that Darwin is supposed to have written .

A fascinating aspect of academic 'disciplines' is the way criticisms are intentionally avoided in some disciplines. Let me quote here from A 1969 book (Student Power, ed. Cockburn and Blackburn), where they discuss the separations between sociology and economics:–

... This apparent clash of assumptions reflects only the division of labour between the two disciplines. Economics, the more 'practical' of the two, has to remain closer to the way things actually work in a capitalist economy while sociology provides a justificatory theory which does not interrupt 'business as usual' in the real world. In its turn the economic assumption of profit maximization is validated by the theory that business decisions only reflect the needs ('utility curve' or 'indifference curve') of the sovereign consumer. The naivete of the utility theory is offensive to sociologists but then it is not necessary to them since they have opted for the (equally naïve) managerial revolution thesis. ...

All true enough, though they don't discuss either Jewish money control and the 1913 Federal Reserve, or militarism and its profits, also controlled by Jews. Burke's work is freighted by invisible assumptions, such as the avoidance of legal history: there's no mention of historians such as Maitland, who looked, in Victorian times, at the history of English law.
      It was a commonplace of anthropologists that they were amazed at the variety of beliefs amongst their assorted groups under study; and a parallel amazement at supposed similarities—'gods' in particular. Burke seems absurdly unaware of such things, unaware that murder or rape may be condoned or admired.

Burke says nothing about syllabus-setting and the exam process. Or how useful graduates of such courses are, in fact. The entire subject of manufactured courses constrained by Jewish money power and prejudices is important to understand! I hope its momentum will grow.
