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.
