CRIM1000 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Restorative Justice, Normative Social Influence, Social Control
CRIM1000: Five Integrated Theories
• Braithwaites Reintegrative Shaming
➢ Importance of shame
➢ Crimes with victimisation
➢ Can increase/decrease crime
➢ Side-by-side integration theory
➢ On one side: stigmatisation (brings deviance)
➢ On other side: reintegrative shaming (bonds maintained and strengthened)
➢ These are parallel to one another in theory
• Shame and crime rates
➢ Importance of effective communication
• Components of reintegrative shaming
1. Respect
2. Disapprove the act, not the person
3. Delivered in context of general social approval
4. Statement of genuine remorse (offender)
5. Disapproval expressed, but followed by gestures of moving on (terminate
deviance).
➢ Practice implications: restorative justice conferencing.
❖ Aim: restore victim, offender and community.
❖ Participants: facilitator, support persons, offender and victim
❖ What is discussed: what occurred; impact of the act; reparation of
harm to the victim.
• Tittles Cotrol Balae
➢ Up-and-down theory, reduction
➢ Control balance encompasses many theories:
❖ Anomie
❖ RAT
❖ Deterrence
❖ Differential Association
❖ Conflict
❖ Labelling
❖ Social control
➢ Control subjected to relative control exercised
➢ Explains different types of behaviour:
❖ Defiance
❖ Predation
❖ Plunder
❖ Exploitation
❖ Submission
❖ Decadence (e.g. torture, sadism).
➢ When control deficits are small, people feel freer to commit more serious acts
without controlling response.

Document Summary
Crim1000: five integrated theories: braithwaite(cid:859)s reintegrative shaming. On other side: reintegrative shaming (bonds maintained and strengthened) These are parallel to one another in theory: shame and crime rates. Participants: facilitator, support persons, offender and victim. What is discussed: what occurred; impact of the act; reparation of harm to the victim: tittle(cid:859)s co(cid:374)trol bala(cid:374)(cid:272)e. When control deficits are small, people feel freer to commit more serious acts without controlling response. Control deficits: more likely to be controlled: coercion and social support (end-to-end) Intimidation or compelling to action through fear and anxiety. Social support can reduce experiences of coercion. Social support from legitimate sources tends to prevent crime. Social support from illegitimate sources tends to encourage crime. Support/coercion > erratic or consistent > outcome stage 1 > gateway. Families: positive parenting (triple p), paid parental leave etc. Workplace: flexible working hours and options, family-friendly environments. Summary: worst case = erratic social support + erratic coercion.
