Abstract

The economy of the USA is adjusting to a series of corporate wrongdoings as exemplified by Enron, Andersen, and InClone. The natural action is to find the wrongdoers and subject them to the traditional justice system. A system of restorative justice borrowed from Australia is proposed as a more appropriate route towards deterrence. In essence, restorative justice moves away from "stigmatised shaming" towards "reintegrative shaming" as the deterrent mechanism. The validity of implementing a system in the USA that was developed in Australia is assessed. The ultimate objective of reintegrative justice is to make sure that the wrongdoers and victims become productive members of society.
