Criminal justice is in crisis. Retributive blame and punishment lead only to more violence, wasted lives and an incessant 'crime problem'. Norrie shows how a moral psychology of guilt and forgiveness addresses violation in a fundamentally different way. A mature retributive theory is abolitionist in its implications.
