Peacemaking criminology is a perspective on crime that suggests that alternative methods can be used to create peaceful solutions to crime. That is, using a non-violent method to resolve oppression, social vices, corruption ...

The uniqueness of peacemaking criminology and its lack of use within the administration of justice leave many within the criminal justice field skeptical of its efficacy.

If I am victim of a crime, I will seek revenge through the law of the land by pressing charges legally. This will be to curb the offenders and criminals in a way that is more effective.
