Constitutive criminology is an affirmitive criminology theory posited by Stuart Henry and Dragan Milovanovic in Constitutive criminology: beyond postmodernism(1996) which was inspired by Anthony Giddens The Constitution of Society(1984) where Giddens outlined his theory of structuration.^[1][2]

The theory seeks to redefine crime as "the harm resulting from humans investing energy in harm-producing relations of power."^[3] The theory also characterizes two types of harm: reduction and repression.^[4] Offenders are described as "excessive investors investing energy to make a difference on others without those others having the ability to make a difference on them" whereas victims are described as those "who suffer the pain of being dined their own humanity, the power to make a difference."^[4][5]
