Other abolitionists would go somewhat further. They would select the objective of compensating victims of crime as the most important task of criminal justice and propose that instead of a system which is focused on the offender, and whose objective is his/her punishment, the system should be focused on the victim, with the objective of recompense and reconcilia¬tion between offender and victim. The restorative justice movement thus seeks to abolish not just imprisonment, but punishment as the usual response to crime (see, for example, Christie 1982; de Haan 1990).
