Crime, Shame and Reintegration Review: Affords a Criminal a Direct Kind of Penitence about Victim - Braithwaite draws on the essentially anthropological literature to observe that societies which employ communal shame for one who victimizes are also societies which have least 'crime.' Many kinds of crime perpetrated in this culture lack a concern for the perpetrator's insult to the victim, and thence to the social order. Braithwaite mentions white collar crime as particularly missing the point of victim-restitution. Instead of having court procedures which are too narrowly focused on "facts of the case and opinions from law" then deprivation of liberty as sole sanction against the criminal. Braithwaite recommends that a kind of "shaming" ceremony take place conducive to instilling remorse in a criminal. I for one consider this as "good medicine" for anyone who deliberately or inadvertently violates another, as a worthwhile aspect of a perpetrator's "assuming full responsibility for what he/she has done." Review: Braithwaite was before his time - A smart and poignant look at the American legal system, and collectivist vs. individualistic societies. Braithwaite makes several valid points about the distinction between stigmatizing shaming and productive shaming. Shaming can and should help to shape and hold societies together by creating cohesion based on common core values. Though older, this book is still very much relevant to our society today. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,111,151 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #321 in Criminology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (39) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.59 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | 48882nd | | ISBN-10 | 0521356687 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0521356688 | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 236 pages | | Publication date | April 28, 1989 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | ## Images ![Crime, Shame and Reintegration - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WeRJn-zwL.jpg) ![Crime, Shame and Reintegration - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Hz12KObUL.jpg) ![Crime, Shame and Reintegration - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31isSP2816L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Affords a Criminal a Direct Kind of Penitence about Victim *by B***E on December 14, 2012* Braithwaite draws on the essentially anthropological literature to observe that societies which employ communal shame for one who victimizes are also societies which have least 'crime.'

Braithwaite makes several valid points about the distinction between stigmatizing shaming and productive shaming. Shaming can and should help to shape and hold societies together by creating cohesion based on common core values. Though older, this book is still very much relevant to our society today. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was one of my favorite books overall *by D***H on August 12, 2016* Needed this book for my masters seminar in criminology class. This was one of my favorite books overall. It provides an interesting alternative to the current punitive policies. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crime, Shame and Reintegration - A General Theory of Crime - Seductions Of Crime: Moral And Sensual Attractions In Doing Evil --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/27380728-crime-shame-and-reintegration](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/27380728-crime-shame-and-reintegration) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
