The award-winning "radically original" (The Atlantic) restorative
justice leader, whose work the Washington Post has called "totally
sensible and totally revolutionary," grapples with the problem of
violent crime in the movement for prison abolition A National Book
Foundation Literature for Justice honoree A Kirkus "Best Book of
2019 to Fight Racism and Xenophobia" Winner of the National
Association of Community and Restorative Justice Journalism Award
Finalist for the Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for
Social Justice In a book Democracy Now! calls a "complete overhaul
of the way we've been taught to think about crime, punishment, and
justice," Danielle Sered, the executive director of Common Justice
and renowned expert on violence, offers pragmatic solutions that
take the place of prison, meeting the needs of survivors and
creating pathways for people who have committed violence to repair
harm. Critically, Sered argues that reckoning is owed not only on
the part of individuals who have caused violence, but also by our
nation for its overreliance on incarceration to produce safety-at a
great cost to communities, survivors, racial equity, and the very
fabric of our democracy. Although over half the people incarcerated
in America today have committed violent offenses, the focus of
reformers has been almost entirely on nonviolent and drug offenses.
Called "innovative" and "truly remarkable" by The Atlantic and "a
top-notch entry into the burgeoning incarceration debate" by Kirkus
Reviews, Sered's Until We Reckon argues with searing force and
clarity that our communities are safer the less we rely on prisons
and jails as a solution for wrongdoing. Sered asks us to reconsider
the purposes of incarceration and argues persuasively that the
needs of survivors of violent crime are better met by asking people
who commit violence to accept responsibility for their actions and
make amends in ways that are meaningful to those they have
hurt-none of which happens in the context of a criminal trial or a
prison sentence.
