An example of reintegrative shaming can be found in the case of United States v. Gementera (2004), wherein a 24-year-old mail thief was sentenced to, among other things, wear a sandwich board sign stating, "I stole mail; this is my punishment", while standing outside of a San Francisco postal facility.[6]
Shaming includes all forms social processes that in different ways have the aim of remorse in the offender. The theory highlights that the shaming is most efficient when coming from people close to the offender, such as friends and family, and not by authorities or officials. The idea is that the shaming is not stigmatized when aimed at the offense itself rather than the characteristics of the offender.[7]
