About
Vitaly Nomokonov is a forward-thinking criminologist whose work reimagines the fundamental principles of justice and social control. His primary research areas center on the philosophy of criminal law, comparative criminology, and the emerging paradigm of positive criminology—a framework that shifts focus from punitive responses to restorative and constructive approaches. Nomokonov’s most cited work, “Positive Criminology — the Criminology of the Future?” (2018), has garnered 3 citations and serves as a provocative reflection on the discipline’s methodological uncertainty. In this piece, he argues that criminology’s future depends on embracing complexity and moving beyond destructive paradigms. His contribution lies in challenging scholars to rethink criminology’s core mission: not merely to punish, but to understand and heal. While his citation count is modest, Nomokonov’s influence is felt in his ability to spark dialogue about the discipline’s ethical and philosophical foundations. For students and researchers, his work offers a compelling invitation to explore criminology as a dynamic, human-centered science—one that must evolve to meet the contradictions of a rapidly changing world.
