Description
Summary:There was an enormous volume of criminological research during the 1980s in the UK. This paper offers our particular refections on that work. It structures the discussion of this research output thematically, drawing on the double-sided nature of Thatcherism and the resulting bifurcated responses within the field of law and order. The discussion is divided into six sections, within each of which key approaches and findings are summarized, examples are drawn from as wide an area of relevant research as possible, questions of funding and institutional support are addressed, and a gradual contraction of the research focus is demonstrated
