Seemed like a decent summary of this branch of Aquinas' thought
(I am less than a novice in Aquinas and crime, so take this all for what it's worth).
However, Nemeth seemed annoyingly thrilled anytime he could claim that
Thomas' jurisprudence was in line with modern jurisprudence (a phenomenon he
signalled by hailing Thomas as "ahead of his time"). For instance, he thinks Thomas
would have been thrilled by the "victims compensation programs" that certain
legislatures have enacted these days, since Thomas believed in restitution.
