Restorative Justice has emerged around the world as a potent
challenge to traditional models of criminal justice, and
restorative programmes, policies and legislative reforms are being
implemented in many western nations. However, the underlying aims,
values and limits of this new paradigm remain somewhat uncertain
and those advocating Restorative Justice have rarely engaged in
systematic debate with those defending more traditional conceptions
of criminal justice. This volume, containing contributions from
scholars of international renown, provides an analytic exploration
of Restorative Justice and its potential advantages and
disadvantages. Chapters of the book examine the aims and limiting
principles that should govern Restorative Justice, its appropriate
scope of application, its social and legal contexts, its practice
and impact in a number of jurisdictions and its relation to more
traditional criminal-justice conceptions. These questions are
addressed by twenty distinguished criminologists and legal scholars
in papers which make up this volume. These contributions will help
clarify the aims that Restorative Justice might reasonably hope to
achieve, the limits that should apply in pursuing these aims, and
how restorative strategies might comport with, or replace, other
penal strategies. Contributors: Andrew Ashworth, Anthony E Bottoms,
John Braithwaite, Kathleen Daly, James Dignan, R A Duff, Carolyn
Hoyle, Barbara Hudson, Leena Kurki, Allison Morris, Kent Roach,
Julian V Roberts, Paul Roberts, Mara Schiff, Joanna Shapland,
Clifford Shearing, Daniel van Ness, Andrew von Hirsch, Lode
Walgrave, Richard Young. 'Discussions of restorative justice as a
complement to or alternate to criminal or retributive justice
remain in their infancy, yet this collection assures that this
critically important discussion moves forward. These
thought-provoking essays on a timely topic need to be read by
people in the punishment business. Summing up: Highly recommended.'
MA Foley, Marywood University, December 2003. 'This book is
essential reading for anybody interested in the development of
restorative justice and the future of criminal justice. Each
contribution is significant and well written.' Gerry Johnstone, in
the Howard Journal of Criminal Justice, February 2004 'One of the
strengths of this collection is the way it places restorative
justice developments in context. In this publication, and the
earlier 'Restorative Justice for Juveniles: Conferencing, Mediation
and Circles', Hart Publishing establishes a reputation for
publishing some of the best, and most thoughtful, material on
restorative justice.' Declan Roche, in the British Journal of
Sociology, January 2004
