Restorative justice is an innovative approach to responding to
crime and conflict that shifts the focus away from laws and
punishment to instead consider the harm caused and what is needed
to repair that harm and make things right. Interest in restorative
justice is rapidly expanding, with new applications continuously
emerging around the world. The restorative philosophy and
conference process have shown great promise in providing a justice
response that heals individuals and strengthens the community.
Still, a few key questions remain unanswered. First, how is the
personal and relational transformation apparent in the restorative
justice process achieved? What can be done to safeguard and enhance
that effectiveness? Second, can restorative justice satisfy the
wider public's need for a reaffirmation of communal norms following
a crime, particularly in comparison to the criminal trial? And
finally, given its primary focus on making amends at an
interpersonal level, does restorative justice routinely fail to
address larger, structural injustices? This book engages with these
three critical questions through an understanding of restorative
justice as a ritual. It proffers three dominant ritual functions
related to the performance of justice: the normative, the
transformative, and the proleptic. Two justice rituals, namely, the
criminal trial and the restorative justice conference, are examined
through this framework in order to understand how each process
fulfills, or fails to fulfill, the multifaceted human need for
justice. The book will be of interest to students, academics, and
practitioners working in the areas of Restorative Justice, Criminal
Law, and Criminology.
