There are many cultural and structural explanations for prison growth in New Zealand such as penal populism, public disenchantment with the current government, public attitudes towards crime and harsher sentences, and lobby groups. There have also been important explanations in the form of neo liberalism, political structures and inequality. I will examine these explanations in my essay. These two perspectives could be combined as there is a lot of overlap between the two ideas and the two rely…
