Preferred term

crime, shame, and reintegration  

Definition

  • In his book Crime, Shame and Reintegration, published in 1989, Australian criminologist John Braithwaite puts forth a theoretical model for dealing with crime at the individual and community levels. Braithwaite integrates many traditional sociological theories of crime into a single view explaining why some societies have higher crime rates, why certain people are more likely to commit crime, and how communities can deal effectively with crime for the purposes of prevention.
