Compare and contrast utilitarian perspectives of punishment to restorative justice perspectives.
What will be an ideal response?
Unlike other utilitarian perspectives on punishment (e.g., deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation), which emphasize punishment for crime prevention and focus almost exclusively on the offender, restorative justice views punishment as a means to repair the harm and injury caused by the crime, focusing on the victim and the community as well as the offender (Braithwaite, 1989, 1999; Kurki, 1999).
