WHY A CONSERVATIVE CRIMINOLOGY?
|
It's simple: We can accurately predict a scholar's support for certain policies and certain theories simply by knowing his political allegiance and in the social sciences, virtually every professor is liberal.
The dominance of a single world view has politicized many disciplines and in return has biased research and teaching. Liberal social advocacy often parades as objective scholarship. Moreover, we have witnessed a growing threat to academic freedom primarily from those inside the academy. We simply desire an honest social science--one that is committed to finding the truth. We also believe the time is ripe for a counterweight to the liberal ideology that pervades the academy. We support academic freedom and and believe that a broader understanding of conservative views about culture and politics can help build a better university and a better society. |
