... How has John Braithwaite contributed to debates on crime, and what are the policy implications of his work? The law, crime and how we, as a society, should deal with criminal elements has historically been a hot bed of debate. When looking at Braithwaite and his contributions to debates on crime I will concentrate on criminological aspects of the discourse and theories of punishment. Ideas range from the feminist perspective, which views law and all aspects of punishment as a way of suppressing women. The Marxist perspective, which views punishment as an effective way of further suppressing the proletariat, to desert theorists who view punishment as something that is deserved and should be metered out to befit the crime. Generally speaking however we can divide the more specific camps into two theories Utilitarianism and Retributivism. John Braithwaite's contribution has been to look at punishment from a completely different perspective in conceptualising his theory Republicanism.
