Extract

In The Practice of Punishment, Wesley Cragg sets out a systematic “restorative” theory of criminal punishment. For him, restorative justice identifies the goal of punishment as “the resolution of disputes to which criminal offenses give rise in ways designed to sustain confidence in the capacity of the law to fulfil its legitimate functions on the part of victims of crime and the public at large” (p. 9).
