Abstract

This book presents the concept of Spiritual Jewish criminology. It stems from the Jewish spiritual paradigm, and explains criminology from this point of view in theoretical and applied perspectives. This volume uses qualitative methodology and a phenomenological, hermeneutic approach that enables a combination of interviews and analysis of scriptural texts.
Spiritual criminology topics covered from the Spiritual Jewish perspective include:
References to life purpose.
Human nature and tendencies.
Freedom of choice.
Corresponding perception of punishment and rehabilitation.
This volume suggests theoretical and practical implications to the field of criminology, and although based on Jewish premises, presents in a way that can benefit different belief systems. It is ideal for professionals interested in the intersection of spirituality and criminology.
