Q

Summarise Marxist Views?

A

Marxism is a structural theory. It sees society as a structure in which capitalists determine the shape of the superstructure, which is made up of all the other social institutions, including the state, the law and the criminal justice system. Their function is to serve the ruling class interests and maintain the capitalist economy.
