The family: a battleground in fearful times

Article Abstract:

The recent clashes within the Conservative party over the Divorce Bill and the Family Homes and Domestic Violence Bill indicate that the party is severely divided on social policy. There is a strong trend towards social authoritarianism within the party, and this makes it take a very negative view of human nature. There are also clashing views on social policy within the Labour party, which is more likely to be successful in this area than the Conservative party but is still uncertain about how to proceed.

Hard times revive law and order panic

Article Abstract:

The reality of crime has always differed from media portrayals. Garrotting was treated as very common by the press in 1862, whereas in fact statistics showed few such incidents. The publicity created moral panic and public anxiety which led to the Security Against Violence Act. The transition to industrialisation at the time caused social dislocation and an increase in crime. History shows a link between increased crime and poorer living conditions.
