Right realism
Right realists like James Q Wilson argue that most traditional criminology is unhelpful for policymakers trying to deal with crime as a real problem. Right realists argue that even minor crime needs to be dealt with rigorously through policies such as zero tolerance in order to maintain social order. This idea was expressed most famously in terms of broken windows theory.
