Conflict theory is the view that human behavior is shaped by interpersonal conflict and that those who maintain social power will use it to further their own ends.

Conflict criminology is a theoretical perspective that examines how power dynamics, inequalities, and social conflict contribute to crime and criminal justice processes. It focuses on the role of social and economic forces in shaping criminal behavior and critiques the justice system for perpetuating inequalities and oppression. Conflict criminologists advocate for systemic change to address the root causes of crime and promote social justice.

Peacemaking criminology is a theoretical perspective within the field of criminology that focuses on promoting peace, justice, and reconciliation. It emphasizes healing and restoring relationships within communities, rather than punitive measures. Peacemaking criminology seeks to address the root causes of crime through social justice actions and conflict resolution strategies.
