Conservative Criminology in relation to Crime and Race

Conservative Criminology is included in the Encyclopedia of Race and Crime (1), beginning with: 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. The surfacing of the conservative criminology movement was symptomatic of many changing opinions concerning crime and punishment in the United States since the 1970s. At its core, the conservative criminology doctrine rejects social welfare programs and suggests harsher punishments and extended imprisonments. The development of the conservative branch of criminology has accompanied many changes in crime control and penal policy since the idealistic “rehab era” of nearly 40 years ago.
