	ABOUT THE COLLEGE: Redefining Criminal Justice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		At the College of Criminal Justice at Northeastern University the world of criminal justice is much more than the police officer, corrections officer, or security guard.
		This new approach recognizes that criminal justice in the new millenium is about more than the criminal, it involves understanding the victim and the community: repairing harm, reducing fear, and rebuilding safe communities to assure justice in spirit and in act.
		Criminal Justice education at Northeastern University looks beyond the political rhetoric of being "tough" or "soft" on crime.

	In Pursuit of Paradigm: A Theory of Restorative Justice
		Restorative justice is a new way of looking at criminal justice that focuses on repairing the harm done to people and relationships rather than on punishing offenders.
		In this paper, we propose a conceptual theory of restorative justice so that social scientists may test these theoretical concepts and their validity in explaining and predicting the effects of restorative justice practices.
		A criminal justice system that merely doles out punishment to offenders and sidelines victims does not address the emotional or relational needs of those who have been affected by crime.

	Criminal Justice
		He spends a full chapter undermining what he calls the "causal theory of excuse": the idea that since "true" behavior is uncaused or undetermined except by the person, behavior that is caused by factors outside the person should be excused.
		To seek the suffering of the offender is just one of many possible responses to crime and injury done to us, and although criminal justice has traditionally taken the imposition of retributive punishment as its primary, often sole objective, this need not remain the case.
		In our system of criminal justice, we don’t want to model and therefore implicitly endorse as means of behavior control the very conditions we know produce and reinforce manipulative egotism and pathological brutality.
