Mixing business with pleasure is Assistant DA Gary Parker's way of
life. But when the Government starts looking into how its employees
are spending their state-issued travel checks as the result of a
budget crisis, it threatens to ruin not only Gary's career and
ambitions but his marriage to his wife Karen. It's a race against
the clock. Gary will hold everything together as long as he has the
loyal staff at the DA's office on his side, but is it enough? One
thing's for sure, someone's always watching how you spend your
travel check.
David J Cornwell appraises the potential of restorative justice to
make 'corrections' more effective, civilised, humane, pragmatic and
non-fanciful - by looking at 'bedrock issues' in contemporary
criminology and penology and demonstrate that RJ offers no 'soft
options', rather the demands of remorse, acceptance of
responsibility, and the repairing of harm done. It makes the case
for the radical overhaul of existing approaches on the basis of
principle rather than political expediency. Provides an
international perspective as to the potential of restorative
justice to: Deliver better ways of dealing with offenders and
victims; Reduce the use of custody by challenging offenders to take
responsibility for their offences and to make reparation for their
wrong-doing; Consign to history the fallacies and false horizons of
traditional thinking in favour of a principled, more purposeful use
of sanctions. Criminal Punishment and Restorative Justice pulls no
punches in its criticism of traditional approaches and their
failure to achieve crime prevention. 'This short book is well worth
the time and effort to read and ponder, especially for anyone who
actually works in or administers 'punishment' within criminal
justice programmes': restorativejustice.org. 'Cornwell's attack on
traditional philosophies, exploration of restorative philosophy in
punishment theory, and different examinations of how restorative
justice can transform penal policy provide an optimistic road map
for the future of criminal justice': International Criminal Justice
Review. 'A valuable and relevant text for practitioners, academics
and students': Vista. David J Cornwell has extensive experience
working in both HM Prison Service and the private sector. He is a
member of the International Corrections and Prisons Association
(ICPA) and continues to act as a consultant criminologist.
