Abstract:
This article aims to bring the importance of critical criminology as a subsidy to professional work and professional education, presenting its foundations in a Marxist analysis, taking class, race, and gender into consideration, and its possible interlocution with the ethical principles of Social Work, aiming at a greater approximation with this perspective in the anti-capitalist, anti-racist, feminist, and anti-punitivist fight.
Keywords: Critical criminology; Social Work; Ethical principles
