Document Summary
Political discord between marxism and new utilitarianism . Symbolizes the best way to understand the changes of the 60s in terms of fads, taking over. New right theory is another fad, politics of conservatism reestablish a certain stake in criminology. Managing the system, maintaining social order, enforcing the law. Part of the nu is about punishment, deterrence. Bringing back theories of deterrence back into the criminal. The new right criminology: aka neo-classical theory justice system. Reacting against labeling theories and liberal leftist theories of crime. Called themselves control theories: takes positive normative description, we want systems of control to contain individuals, political assumption built into this that humans are self- interested, prone to violence, not exactly good natured, self-interest includes deviance. Doesn"t address labeling theory: branches it into the idea of cultural deviance theories, sutherland and differential association. Structures of society block certain populations from achieving desires which results in deviant solutions.
