Reintergrative Justice In Practice Summary

In the book Reintergrative Justice in Practice, Peter Raynor provides a unique study of the practice of traditional reintegrative community justice in a European society. Peter worked with Helen Miles to find out how well reintegrative justice dealt with the mental and emotional reasons for committing crimes. I do not want to focus solely on drug offenders. The book explores from top to bottom the experience of those treated and found that these offenders committed a second offense less often than individuals only punished by incarceration. The program monitored from the offense to release therefore allowing a complete view of how well treatment worked towards providing reform.
