Contents:
Cover; Copyright; Contents; List of Tables; Acknowledgements; 1. Introduction: researching communicative penal theory; 2. Communicative theory -- origins, evolution and application to communicative penalties; 3. Seeking stakeholders' views of punishment; 4. Priorotising penal aims; 5. Penal messages; 6. Responding to punishment; 7. Towards a framework for community penalties; 8. Conclusions; Appendix: The questionnaire; Back cover.
Summary: This book sets out to explore the role of community penalties in sentencing, arguing that the absence of a strong intellectual framework or underpinning has hampered their development in policy and practice. The research undertaken for this book involved asking people with a particular stake in criminal justice what the point of punishment was and what the courts were trying to achieve in sentencing offenders. It identifies the role of communication as crucial, and looks at ways in which 'communication' can be used to make punishment more constructive, exploring the role of restorative process.
