Abstract
HUERTAS DIAZ, Omar. Durkheim: The Functionalist Perspective of Crime in Criminology. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2009, vol.51, n.2, pp.103-115. ISSN 1794-3108.
This article is intended to make known the work of sociologist Émile Durkheim, revolutionary in its time, as it considers criminals as regulating agents of social life who, in turn, dynamize social life and play a role within the community. Consequently, the first chapter refers to the three most important texts that explain his theory; the second chapter shows the criticism made of such work; and the third chapter poses a reformulation of the central thesis in Durkheim's thought.
Keywords : punishment; social consciousness; community; moral; Émile Durkheim.
