Abstract

Therapeutic Justice (TJ) finds its roots in the field of therapeutic jurisprudence, which was pioneered by Wexler and Winick. In therapeutic jurisprudencem focus is placed on the law's impact on psychological and emotional well-being. The law is regarded as a social force capable of both influencing behaviours and producing outcomes. Put simply, therapeutic jurisprudence seeks to humanise the law and utilise it as a "therapeutic agent".
