This view is given further weight regarding the 1983 and 1987 election. Labour’s manifesto in 1983 had infamously been described as the ‘longest suicide note in history’ by a Labour MP denoting its extreme left views that the electorate weren’t in favour of, for instance leaving the European Economic Community and re-nationalisation of previously privatised industries like British Telecom .evidence of increase In consequence, Conservatives made further substantial gains in the midlands in spite of suffering from the decline in manufacturing, while in the south outside London Labour was virtually wiped out, holding only three seats .

Assess the validity of this view (25 marks) Labours victory in the 1997 election was first thought to be the U-turn of the socio-economic transformation that the Nation endured after 18 years of conservative premiership.

Social control theory insinuates every person has the possibility of becoming a criminal, but most people are influenced by their bonds to society. It contends that individuals obey the law and are less likely to commit crime if they have: learned self-control, attachment (to family, friends, peers, education, etc.), commitment (to school, learning, etc.), involvement (in leisure activities, sports, etc.), and belief (those that are positive).

After reading about the forfeited right theory, I agree that the theory is not only ethical, but it is quite intriguing. “The rights forfeiture theory of punishment contends that punishment is justified when and because the criminal has forfeited their right not to be subjected to this hard treatment” (Wellman, 2012, p. 371). When a person is taken into custody, their rights have been taken away from them. All of their rights except the Miranda Rights in which the individual is entitled to. So that means if a person commits a crime then they have already violated thier own rights therefore, they should not be complaining about their rights being violated.
