A Global Perspective

Redaktion: Sullivan, Dennis; Tifft, Larry

Beschreibung

Handbook of Restorative Justice is a collection of original, cutting-edge essays that offer an insightful and critical assessment of the theory, principles and practices of restorative justice around the globe. This much-awaited volume is a response to the cry of students, scholars and practitioners of restorative justice, for a comprehensive resource about a practice that is radically transforming the way the human community responds to loss, trauma and harm.

Its diverse essays not only explore the various methods of responding nonviolently to harms-done by persons, groups, global corporations and nation-states, but also examine the dimensions of restorative justice in relation to criminology, victimology, traumatology and feminist studies. In addition. They contain prescriptions for how communities might re-structure their family, school and workplace life according to restorative values.

This Handbook is an essential tool for every serious student of criminal, social and restorative justice.

Rezensionen

"The Handbook represents an important contribution to the development of the restorative justice thought. Unlike many books in the area, the discussions are not limited to application of restorative justice within the criminal justice context. On the contrary, the book asserts that restorative justice philosophy has application to every aspect of social life, at every level of human interactions. Many essays offer a more radical vision of restorative justice than mainstream literature in the area does, extending restorative ideas to social justice matters, offering engaging discussions and challenging readers to think critically about the role and the potential of restorative justice.

The book is highly recommended to students of criminal justice, criminology, law, sociology, conflict-resolution and related disciplines, as well as criminal justice practitioners, researchers and policy-makers and anybody with an interest in criminal and social justice issues in contemporary society." - Margarita Zernova - Restorative Justice Online
