right realism Flashcards
approach?
conservative, new right
no tolerance stance
explanations and ao3
biological differences- support ao3- had a qeniue e effect on gov responses to crime eg david cameron response to riots
inadequate socialisation- ignored wider structural causes
rational choice theory- overstates rationality and cost benefit calculations, happens with utilitarian but violence no benefit, heat of the moment /right realist explanations are contradictory,how can someone have free will but driven by biological factors
solutions and ao3
zero tolerance policing-marxism- focuses on petty street crime, ignores white collar
target hardening-displacement
broken windows- ?????? (watch it be a 10 marker)
biological differencesAO1
wilson and hernstein- crime caused by combo of biological/social factors
biological traits=innately predisposed eg testosterone leads to heightened aggression and low IQ
Biological differences SUPPORT ao3
Right realism had genuine effect on crime eg david cameron’s response to london riots 2011
Inadequate socialisation AO1
family is key agent of socialisation, Murray says that NF is being undermined by welfare state, perverse incentive to SPF, creating dependency culture ,forming underclass, failing to socialise kids into n&v, men not needed to support families, lack tough love and discipline
inadequate soc ao3
ignores wider structural factors to crime eg unequal distribution of wealth and status
rational choice ao1
Clarke assumes individuals are rational beings with free will and so deciding to commit crime is a choice based on cost benefit calculations
routine activity theory- for crime to be committed there must be motivated offender a suitable target and absence of capable guardian, presence of guardian deters crime
RCT AO3
right realist explanations are contradictory , how can someone have rational free will be crime is determined biologically
