1: Critical discussion on long-lasting impact of New Right Criminology
The New Right Criminology is a kind of theory which supports the view that the
different kinds of individuals act in a rational and calculative way and that all of them possess
a free will that is being guided by many factors like hedonism, social and physical
characteristics of the offender, and the punishment types. Therefore, it has been noted that
despite the great efforts of the left realists, the New Right Criminology has had a lasting
impact on the contemporary criminal justice policy because it holds two different logical
positions on the theory of crime (Chambliss, et. al., 2016). Firstly, it describes that the crime
usually lies in the individual and secondly, it describes that criminals commit the crime based
on their cost and benefit calculations. In simple words, it means that if a crime is going to
benefit any criminal in one way or the other, it does not seem to be wrong in his or her eyes
and thus this feeling influences their decision to carry out the crime. However, this also acts
as an anti-social behaviour act like the people who are committing the act takes the due
responsibility of their actions and on the other hand, the police are taking touch actions for
the same crime if anyone breaches them. Also, it has been noted that the police should be
tougher regarding this to reduce the crime and behaviour that harms the society a lot. The
impact of this policy also varies according to the nature of the policies and programmes of the
government on the criminal justice policy. On the contrary, the various reforms that were set
for the criminal justice have reduced the crime rate to a greater level than before. Therefore,
to conclude, it can be established that the New Right Criminology lacks everything that is
needed to make it work more successfully and thus it has been impacting the whole criminal
policy a lot (Winlow & Measham, 2016).

The postmodern criminologist through the mechanism of language structures thought
means that the various kinds of expressions and actions of criminals when structured
