Drawing on criminology, philosophy and theology, this book develops
a theory of âredemptive criminologyâ for practice in criminal
justice settings. The therapeutic impulse for the text is a focus
on the individual practitionerâs ability to embrace difference
with the other, to resist harsh penal measures and to bring about
change from âthe bottom upâ. 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.

from 'the bottom up'. By challenging concepts and practices of

Approaches based around complexity theory are increasingly being
used in the study of organisations and the delivery of services.
This is the first book to explore the application of complexity
theory to difficult practice issues in criminal justice and social
work and is intended to stimulate debate. It brings together
experts in this emerging field to address complexity theory from a
range of perspectives (positivist, realist, and constructivist),
providing a detailed but accessible discussion of the key issues to
whole systems approaches. The chapters cover theory and research on
the nature of complex adaptive systems, their application to key
areas of service delivery and the efficacy and ethics of criminal
justice and social work interventions. The book argues for the
usefulness of applying complexity theory to address significant and
intractable social problems and also challenges the reductionist
approaches to solving those problems currently favoured by policy
makers. It will be of interest to academics and postgraduate
students in social work and criminal justice.
