Document Summary
Social context: aim is to restore society to the way it was; appeals to the golden age , argues that society requires a strong state that will assert its authority in a moral way. This may be considered a particular model of restorative justice. The causes of crime lie in a combination of social/psychological factors from the point of view of a republican. Involves a process in which offender is shamed frothier action but not cast out as a person: offender is publicly rebuked for the harm they"ve caused. Contemporary examples: victim offender mediation and victim offender reconciliation programs. Bring victim and offender together in the presence of a trained mediator. Critique: one weakness is that it doesn"t look at the causes of crime, provides a whole range of variables associated with crime at the level of both the individual and society. Theory provides background characteristics of the typical offender.
