Crime
I feel like this 1989 classic could stand to be edited for a new edition. It's clear Braithwaite knows his topic. And his reintegrative shaming theory is definitely interesting. But the repetition got, well, a bit repetitive. Frequently he would mention topics briefly for a paragraph or two only to change the topic and say that there'd be more on that later. Um. In chapter one he goes so far as to say that you wouldn't miss much by skipping to chapter four. Double um. Thanks? The basic organization is a problem as well. There are only 10 long chapters, and while there are subheadings within the text, the table of contents does not disclose what is in each chapter. It is frustrating to find anecdotes you thought were in one chapter, but are actually in another (since both chapters mentioned that topic - nice, huh?). The book is dense with facts and criminological theory, and while it's not the easiest read, he *does* make the topic accessible enough for an almost-novice. I just wish the repetitive bits had been culled to make his 186 pages about 150 instead.
