Radical criminologists explain crime through the lens of social inequality and power dynamics, asserting that crime is a product of the capitalist system and its inherent class struggles.

Additionally, they contend that the legal system is biased, serving the interests of the powerful while criminalizing the behaviors of the oppressed. Thus, crime is viewed not merely as individual wrongdoing but as a reflection of broader societal injustices.

Individuals from marginalized racial and socioeconomic backgrounds often face higher rates of criminalization and harsher penalties, while gender influences the type of crime and victimization experienced.

Understanding these intersections is crucial for addressing the root causes of crime and designing equitable criminal justice policies.
