The seminal work on Restorative Justice by one of the founders of
the movement, now fully revised and updated.
In a time of bitter differences and deep division, how should we
as a society respond to wrongdoing? When a crime occurs or an
injustice is done, what needs to happen? What does justice require?
Howard Zehr is the father of Restorative Justice and is known
worldwide for his pioneering work in transforming understandings of
justice. Here he proposes workable Principles and Practices for
making Restorative Justice possible in this revised and updated
edition of his bestselling, seminal book on the movement.
Our legal system's approach to justice has some important
strengths, but also some deep failings. Victims, offenders, and
community members often feel that justice does not adequately meet
their needs. Justice professionals--judges, lawyers, prosecutors,
probation and parole officers, prison staff--are frustrated with
the system's shortcomings, too. Many feel that the process of
justice deepens the wounds and conflicts in our society rather than
bringing healing and peace.
Restorative Justice, with its emphasis on identifying the justice
needs of everyone involved in a crime, is a worldwide movement of
growing influence that is helping victims and communities heal,
while holding criminals accountable for their actions. This is not
a soft-on-crime, feel-good philosophy, but rather a concrete effort
to bring justice and healing to everyone involved in a crime.
In "The Little Book of Restorative Justice," Zehr first explores
how restorative justice is different from criminal justice.
Then, before letting those appealing observations drift out of
reach into theoretical space, Zehr presents Restorative Justice
Practices.
Zehr undertakes a massive and complex subject and puts it in
graspable form, without reducing or trivializing it.
This is a handbook, a vehicle for moving our society toward
healing and wholeness. This is a sourcebook, a starting point for
handling brokenness with hard work and hope.
This resource is also suitable for academic classes and workshops,
for conferences and trainings, as well as for the layperson
interested in understanding this innovative and influential
movement.
