law and order politics  

Définition(s)

  • DefinitionThe term ‘law and order politics’ describes a pattern of public discourse in which one political party or politician seeks to gain electoral advantage over another through exaggerated (or false) claims about crime and promises of (ever) tougher policies to deal with it. Practitioners of law and order politics routinely deride their opponents as ‘soft on crime’ and with being more concerned about the rights of offenders than the welfare of crime victims.
