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
