Abolition means also the abolition of criminal laws. Criminalization defines who in society are deemed as disposable. After criminality has been abolished, this will not mean that harm and conflict disappear. Rather, abolition means dealing with harm and conflict in a healthy way.
You’re also defining criminalization here in a way that it’s not commonly used, so a community-specific dictionary would help focus your community.
The words being used in this community have different standard meanings than how you’re using them, and you’re saying that the way you’re using them is how they’re meant to be interpreted.
If these words are meant to be interpreted in a specialized way, but you don’t explain those new definitions beforehand, it isn’t surprising that you’re going to get some pushback by claiming that blue is red.
Again, abolition includes reform, but its ultimate goal is the revolutionary abolition of the carceral system.
