Abstract:In this theoretical essay, we shed light on new forms of public stigmatisation and their possible outcomes for the criminal justice system. We present some examples of the phenomenon we name “cancelling crusade” in this paper. We try to describe it step by step, then bring the theoretical framework. Finally, we analyse the impacts of these cancelling crusades on the criminal justice system.
