Restorative justice today : practical applications
Katherine S. Van Wormer (Editor), Lorenn Walker (Editor)
Examines the issues and concepts surrounding restorative justice and current restorative practices used in a broad range of areas today. Restorative justice is an approach to justice that focuses on the needs of the victims and the offenders, as well as the involved community. This contrasts to more punitive approaches where the main aim is to punish the offender, or satisfy abstract legal principles. In a time when the cost of prisons and jails is on the rise resulting in more offenders being kept out of the community, this book exposes readers to a range of restorative practices that can be implemented
