- Argue that governments often weaken the family's self-reliance by providing welfare
- MURRAY - benefits offer 'perverse incentives'
- i.e. reward irresponsible or anti-social behaviour
- e.g. growth of lone parent families encouraged y generous benefits
- = more boys grow without male role model/ authority figure responsible for rise in crime rate in young boys

- EVALUATION
- FEMINISTS - argue New Right views are an attempt to justify traditional patriarchal family
- Wrong to assume that the patriarchal nuclear family is 'natural' rather than socially constructed
- Cutting benefits would drive poor families into deeper poverty
