Neo-classical school (criminology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the approach to criminology. For the school in economics, see Neoclassical economics. For other uses, see Neoclassical.
In criminology, the Neo-Classical School continues the traditions of the Classical School [further explanation needed] the framework of Right Realism. Hence, the utilitarianism of Jeremy Bentham and Cesare Beccaria remains a relevant social philosophy in policy term for using punishment as a deterrent through law enforcement, the courts, and imprisonment.
