Braithwaite argues that some societies have higher crime rates than others because of their different processes of shaming wrongdoing. He believes if shaming is done within a cultural context of respect for the offender, then it can be a just form of social control. This book will interest criminologists, sociologists, lawyers, public administrators and politicians.
