Drawing on criminology, philosophy and theology, this book develops
a theory of ‘redemptive criminology’ for practice in criminal
justice settings. The therapeutic impulse for the text is a focus
on the individual practitioner’s ability to embrace difference
with the other, to resist harsh penal measures and to bring about
change from ‘the bottom up’. By challenging concepts and
practices of rehabilitation, the authors argue for the possibility
of redemption and for forgiveness as the starting point. Using
real-life examples and an interpretative approach, the book
explores the connections between victims, perpetrators and the
community. The text articulates challenges for the justice system
and offers new insights into punishment and retribution.
