Conservative and Radical Criminal Policy in the Nordic Countries

Abstract

This article describes some major types of criticism against treatment ideologies. Spokesmen for individualization, treatment, and a view of the criminal as an invalid have traditionally been perceived as the radicals within the field of criminal policy. On the basis on her analysis, the author suggest that these spokesmen actually represent a rather conservative point of view. The criminal policy of the future will probably be one based on a sociological view where criminality is seen as a conflict situation, and crime as the visible expression of a certain balance between differing social pressures.
