| Description: |
Unlike the laws of today's societies, those of more primitive peoples used monetary evaluations for most offences as compensation to the victim, not as punishment of the criminal. Describing the punitive approach as counter-productive and damaging, this book argues in favour of restorative justice. |
| Synopsis: |
Unlike the laws of today's societies, those of more primitive peoples used monetary evaluations for most offences as compensation to the victim, not as punishment of the criminal. This approach was rediscovered in the 1970s, and substantive efforts were made to reintroduce these forms of restorative justice world-wide. Nonetheless, most criminal-justice systems continue to favour a punitive approach, which has resulted in high incarceration rates. Arguing that the punitive approach is both counter-productive and damaging, this book propounds that restorative justice can improve the relationship between the criminal, the victim, the community, and society at large; that it is the right method for developing good criminal-justice policies which will not harm but rather improve the quality of life. |
