law
creation
«
The
consensus
model
of
law
-

that
laws
arise

do
not
like
and
agree
to
make
it
illegal
«
The
conflict
model
of
law
-
Proposes
that
powerful
people
write
laws
and
do
so
to
protect
their
own
interests
-

Punishment
--
shaming
*
Shaming:
-
Adeliberate
effort
to
attach
a
negative
meaning
to
a
behavior
»
Shame
can
either
stigmatize
or
reintegrate
(John
Braithwaite)
¢
Stigmatized
shame
-
Apermanent
label
given
to
an
offender
-
Increases
the
likelihood
of
re-offending
because
the
guilty
person
is
labeled
forever
-
Reintegrative
shaming
¢
Allows
the
offender
to
reconnect
to
society
after
punishment
without
further
stigma
