In criminology, the reintegrative shaming theory emphasizes the importance of shame in criminal punishment. The theory holds that punishments should focus on the offender's behavior rather than on the offender. It was developed by Australian criminologist John Braithwaite at Australian National University in 1989.[1][2][3][4][5] It is related to the emerging perspective of positive criminology, developed by the Israeli criminologist Natti Ronel and his research team.
