About the Book

One of the classic and original works that paved the way for the development of the Restorative Justice movement. Martin Wright argues that the real need is for fundamental rethinking of crime and punishment, rather than short-term tinkering with a prison system that is in an intolerable state of crisis. Martin Wright starts by demonstrating that neither the conservative idea of deterrence through punishment nor the liberal ideal of rehabilitation has worked in practice. In their place he proposes the basis for a radical but carefully worked out practical philosophy which would place the emphasis on the offender making amends to the victim and society for the damage caused.

Table of Contents:
1. Prisons, Punishment and the Public 2. Prisons: What They Are Like 3. Prisons: Endemic Abuses 4. Keeping More People out of Prison 5. Constructive Penalties 6. The Remaining Prisoners 7. Bringing Change About 8. The Sentence of the Court: What Can It Achieve? 9. Keeping Crime in Check 10. Making Amends: A Two-Way Process

Review :
'The real value of this book is surely in the philosophical arguments that he puts forward to support his thinking. He forces the reader to think through what society's expectations are when someone is sent to prison. Is it to deter against future offending or to deter others? To isolate the criminal from society for the protection of the public? Or is it for rehabilitation? The aims of imprisonment are expounded at length later in the book together with an appraisal of the ethical and practical aspects of punishment, deterrence, denunciation and of justice itself. Making Good provides a demanding, but fascinating read. Although the description of prison life a quarter of a century ago and the thinking behind the policies that determined it, belong to the era in which it was written, the arguments Martin Wright puts forward about justice and punishment still remain pertinent today:' Internet Law Book Reviews 'Engages with some diverse elements of imprisonment and with contemporary penal issues': Helen Poole, Coventry University
