Crime Minister: The Harms of Power and Policy.

By Rebecca Gardner,

UCEN Manchester - Manchester Metropolitan University


This dissertation investigates the contemporary shifting political leadership of the United Kingdom and how policy choices have resulted in significant social harm. This work argues that there are patterns of problematic policy reform that has been spearheaded by the UK political establishment. In support of this argument, this dissertation offers a critical analysis of original semi-structured interviews with experts in the field of criminology and policy reform. The findings are clear: senior political forces have caused avoidable harm in UK society and moving forward, a new model for positive (harm preventing) reforms should be established.
