Summary/Abstract: Comprehensive Criminology, developed by George C. Basiliade (Comprehensive Criminology, Expert Publishing, 2006, 903 pages, awarded the Romanian Academy Prize in 2006), is not only an encyclopedic treatise, unique in Romanian specialized literature, but also an original concept in the epistemology and ontology of crime, setting itself apart in both European and global criminological research. Unfortunately, this work remains insufficiently known and inadequately integrated into the academic value circuit. This analytical endeavor reveals the Romanian researcher’s ontological vision of real crime. Basiliade’s analysis of real crime (Chapter 2, ”Real Crime, Investigated or Pending Trial Crime and Sanctioned Crime”, pp. 462-476) through the multifocal lens of comprehensive criminology, presents a complex vision with social ontological virtues, anticipating significant transformations in researching crime in postmodernity dealing with the axiology and ethics of human rights1, devoted to human dignity.
