Neoliberalism
Neoliberalism describes a broad political and economic orientation that emphasizes the individual responsibility for one’s own actions – and individual accountability for the consequences of those actions – within the institutional framework of strong private property rights and unfettered commodity markets. All of this has implications for crime and criminology both in terms of profit, competition and greed as motives of and contexts for criminal activity and in terms of the deregulation and weakening of certain domestic and international criminal laws that deal with social and environmental harms and the damage wrought by them.
