Cultural criminology is a subfield in the study of crime that focuses on the ways in which the "dynamics of meaning underpin every process in criminal justice, including the definition of crime itself." Along with interactionist and constructionist theories, as well as ideas posed by Katz and Becker, cultural criminological work tends to explicitly cite, or be reminiscent of, the following theories and/or theorists among others:
- Jean Baudrillard and his theory of “simulacra”
- Max Weber
- Clifford Geertz and the "webs of significance"
- Jeff Ferrell
- Keith Hayward
- Semiology
- Phenomenology
- Mimesis,
- Social ontology
- General strain theory
- Criminal psychology
