Making Good

Making Good by Martin Wright, published by Waterside Press in 2008, is a thought-provoking exploration of the failures of traditional approaches to crime and punishment. In this insightful second edition, spanning 320 pages, Wright argues that both the conservative focus on deterrence through punishment and the liberal emphasis on rehabilitation have proven ineffective in practice. Instead, he presents a radical and meticulously developed philosophy that prioritizes the offender's responsibility to make amends to victims and society. This book is essential for anyone interested in criminology, penology, or social science, offering a fresh perspective on how we can address crime more effectively. Dive into this compelling read to discover a new path towards justice and restoration.
