Critically examine new labour policy on law and order relative to those embraced by their conservative predecessors.
Some political scientists argue that it seems there has been a political consensus tilting further to the right on the spectrum on the issue of law and order in the UK since 1979.
However, other commentators refute such claims as being simplistic and ill thought out, thereby, creating a political controversy which, some say, splits contemporary analysts down the middle.
Many critics argue Conservative policy on law and order during their 18 year rule can be summed up into three broad categories. The first phase is referred to as the "popular authoritarianism" phase and dates roughly between, some say, 1979 and 1987. Many analysts suggest that this period was hugely characterised by what many saw as raw retribution measures as Thatcher promised to 'reinforce the rule of the law' and 'tip the balance of justice in favour of the law abiding citizen over criminals'.
