Document Summary

What do we mean by punishment: deterrence and retribution sentencingg princriples = punishment, impose longer prison sentences including death, prison sentence instead of community sentence, punish (cid:1688)smarter(cid:1689) (boot camps, electronic monitoring bracelets, etc) Does punishment affect recidivism rates: meta-analysis can summarize treatment outcome or studies examining correlates/predictors of crime, examine moderators, k = # of effect sizes, punishment isn"t working in reducing crime, punishment has to be immediate and severe. Operant conditioning findings: more immediate the reward or punishment more effective, more consistent rewards and punishments are dished out following behaviour more effective. Restorative justice: alternative approach to dealing with criminal behaviour, involves all stakeholders: victim, offender, community, offender recognizes the harm done, accepts responsibility, makes reparations, goal to restore victims/offenders to their (cid:1688)whole selves(cid:1689) The process: steps: 1. encounter - victims, offender, community, 2. amends - offender expected to repair the harm.
