The Catholic Church has had a dramatic impact on both the structure and understanding of criminal justice up to the present. This book surveys the history of the church to suggest that despite demonstrable abuses, a humane and redemptive theory of criminal justice can be constructed that is harmonious with biblical sources, tradition, and current normative emphases in Catholic social thought.
Andrew Skotnicki is associate professor of Christian ethics at Manhattan College. He is the author of Religion and the Development of the American Penal System as well as numerous scholarly articles on the theological and moral foundations of criminal justice.
