Church of England's Mission and Public Affairs Council. At a time
when the Government is engaged in major reform of the courts, what
should be our response, as Christians, to crime? This topical
exploration aims to step back from the debate on prisons and crime
rates and ask why people are punished, for what purpose and how the
experience of being subject to trial affects their citizenship and
ability to be part of a community. Written by those who are both
Christians and national experts in their field, this collection of
essays particularly considers: the reform of sentencing and the
future of the criminal courts; the principles of restorative
justice and responsible sentencing; Christian involvement in the
criminal justice process, whether individually or as a community.
This timely contribution to the debate calls for a fundamental
reassessment of the sentencing process and argues that the
Christian faith provides a new vision for the future of criminal
justice: through redemption and reconciliation rather than
retribution and punishment.
