Jane Addams on peace, crime, and religion: The beginnings of a modern day peacemaking criminology

This manuscript documents Jane Addams\u27 alignment with Peacemaking Criminology. Before I address this question, however, I outline Addams\u27 fundamental conceptions of crime and peace, as well as the role of religion in her life and works. I use archival methods to study the histories of sociology, criminology, and peace, and specifically, Addams\u27 role in all three. I also discuss Feminist Pragmatist theory, a theory that Addams subscribed to and the theory that I employ to frame her work. What follows is a brief discussion of Addams\u27 biography, including general information, relationships and memberships in various religious and peacekeeping organizations, sociological influences, and, finally, Leo Tolstoy\u27s and Mahatma Gandhi\u27s influence. I follow this with an overview of contemporary Peacemaking scholarship, with particular attention on the writings of Quinney and Pepinsky and how they build from ideas held by Addams. I then present Addams? theory of crime using prostitution and juvenile delinquency as primary examples, and her work on peace before and after World War I
