Concept information
Preferred term
conservative criminology
Definition
- The dissolution of the rehabilitation and deinstitutionalization era of the 1960s and early 1970s paved the way for the development of a new conservative wing of criminological theory and policy—one highly critical of many liberal sociologists and criminologists. Beginning with the presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater in the 1960s, the discussion of crime causation moved from social pathology (i.e., economics and injustice) to one of individual immorality and personal shortcomings.
