NOT ANOTHER MEDICAL MODEL: USING metaphor AND ANALOGY TO EXPLORE CRIME AND CRIMINALJUSTICE1 Rob Canton, Professor of Community and Criminal justice , De Montfort University,LeicesterAbstractThis paper considers the place of metaphor and analogy in criminal justice (and speaking) metaphorically is an unavoidable aspect of the framing of socialproblems. Some examples are offered of the ways in which these figures of speech andthought may influence how we think about these matters, variously generating new ideas orperhaps constraining other possibilities. Metaphors may also be emotionally evocative,influencing feelings as well as thoughts. It is argued that the (often concealed andembedded) assumptions that metaphors import or sustain need to be exposed andsometimes challenged, if liberal criminology is to make its due contribution in debate aboutcriminal justice policy.
