This paper investigates a case of resistance to the dominant culture in which the criminal justice system is claimed to lack jurisdiction by an indigenous offender. Analysis is then given to the claims of shaming theory, within the context of republican criminology: (a) where there exist ethnographic differences between cultures impacting on conscience and shaming; (b) where there exists marginalization of the Other impacting on reintegration; and (c) in terms of a Hegelian-Marxist position.
Your donation helps Prison Fellowship International repair the harm caused by crime by emphasizing accountability, forgiveness, and making amends for prisoners and those affected by their actions. When victims, offenders, and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results are transformational.
