Document Summary
Restorative justice and community integration - restoring healing and the challenge of social reaction. Sherman - analyzed the failing of the science of sanction due to the assumption that all sanctions should be alike in quality and only varied in quantity. De ance theory: who is de ant? the defender. We want to change the de ant and question this motivation: sanctions sometimes do reduce crimes. The sanctioning agent behaves with disrespect to the o ender or to his or her group. The sanction can be actually unfair if excessive or discriminative. These two issues create de ance creating a poor bond to the community or sanctioning agent. Disintegrative shaming, includes stigmatizing and the creation of a negative identity (degradation ceremonies) Integrative shaming, includes an integration in a community, it follows the approach of interacting with members who are not criminals.
