A Criminological Approach to the Challenges of the Neoliberal Political-Economic System with a Look at the Coronavirus Conditions

The widespread disease of COVID-19 is rapidly changing social relations and economic prospects around the world. This disease has exposed the toxic effects of the neoliberal system, which has dominated all aspects of our societies.Now is the time to ask what kind of political-economic system can prevent the recurrence of harmful results? Certainly, the right policy in these critical situations can reduce the scope of the pervasive harms of this disease to some extent, including poverty, unemployment and, consequently, crimes in the near and distant future.Studies show that the neoliberal system influences a variety of crimes in a variety of ways, including the economic pressures of poverty and unemployment on different sections of society. However, welfare models are more effective in preventing the crime of citizens by providing and ensuring the security of citizens' lives. As the prevalence of the COVID-19 virus increases social harm, governments need to change their economic policy toward welfare to adopt a supportive approach to controlling social consequences.
