Description

Explores the theory and practice of restorative justice; that is, tactics for reconciliation, rehabilitation and retribution that involve victims, offenders and communities in a joint decision-making process rather than traditional legal and court-based responses. Assesses the strengths and limitations of restorative justice, and examines its applications in a variety of settings from indigenous circle sentencing, to family group conferencing, to school and workplace bullying and to the global arena.
