This essay attempts to reread the articulation between “crime” and “logos” – found on the concept of “criminology” – through the rationality model of Emmanuel Levinas‟ ethics of alterity. It starts from the hypothesis that current criminological discourses have lost their original motivation by being adapted to a logical-conceptual discourse structure, which derives from a hegemonic rationality capable of making it inoffensive. Thus, the explicit commitment of criminology in explaining this articulation between “crime” and “logos” according to its basic ethic reference is made impossible. Retrieving philosophical categories central to Levinas‟ thought, through which the ethical rationality expands, it is proposed a dialogue with criminology scholar Louk Hulsman, intending to prepare and subsequently develop the main thesis of this essay: for a criminology of encounter. To criminological discourses, it represents a tensive element, compelling them to become responsible for the difference in the ambit of their own discourse, as living language addressed to the Other man.
