Kryminologia humanistyczna Leona Tyszkiewicza jako przykład koncepcji integracyjnej

Abstract

The reason for recalling Tyszkiewicz’s humanist criminology is the discussion of the phenomenon of crime, going in Poland and other countries. The concept is presented against the background of the state of the art of criminology in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially in the context of the debate between positivism and anti-positivism. Further, the author of the article concentrates on the presentation and analysis of the double-pragmaticality of the concept, its concurrence with the modern trends in criminology, considering the factor of the will and the so-called decision-making flexibility, and on the criminogenesis with the most important elements that appear in its examination. Finally, the author presents the major achievements of humanist criminology and shows the possibilities of its application in theoretical and research areas concerning the phenomenon of crime.
