Afterword.This book seeks to explain why the concept of justice is critical to the study of criminal justice. Heffernan makes such a case by treating state-sponsored punishment as the defining feature of criminal justice. In particular, this work accounts for the state's role as a surrogate for victims of wrongdoing-and so makes it possible to integrate victimology scholarship into its justice-based framework. In arguing that punishment may be imposed only for wrongdoing, the book proposes a criterion for repudiating the legal paternalism that informs drug-possession laws. Rethinking the Foundations of Criminal Justice outlines steps for taming the state's power to punish offenders; in particular, it draws on restorative justice research to outline possibilities for a penology that emphasizes offenders' humanity. Through its examination of equality issues, the book integrates recent work on the social justice/criminal justice connection into the scholarly literature on punishment, and so will particularly appeal to those interested in criminal justice theory. .Critical Criminological Perspectives,2731-0612CriminologyCritical criminologyLaw and the social sciencesCorrectionsPunishmentHuman rightsCriminology TheoryCritical CriminologySocio-Legal StudiesPrison and PunishmentHuman RightsCriminology.Critical criminology.Law and the social sciences.Corrections.Punishment.Human rights.Criminology Theory.Critical Criminology.Socio-Legal Studies.Prison and Punishment.Human Rights.364.973345.001Heffernan William Cauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut784696BOOK9910337826503321Rights and Wrongs1745029UNINA
