Restorative justice has become an increasingly important element in
reform and change to criminal justice systems throughout the
western world, and there are many reasons for satisfaction with the
progress that has been made --from the point of view of victims,
offenders, the level and incidence of reoffending, and in terms of
public opinion. At the same time there has been cause for concern,
not least to do with the confusion on aims that has accompanied the
rapid spread of restorative justice practices, an over-estimate of
its possibilities, a blurring of concepts and a lack of attention
to legal rights and processes. This book, based on papers presented
at the 5th international conference held at Leuven, Belgium in
2002, aims to provide an overview of recent experience of
restorative justice in the light of these concerns. The central
theme is the positioning, or repositioning, of restorative justice
in contexts where it can offer hope to communities both fearful of
crime and looking for more socially constructive responses to
crime. At the same time restorative justice practitioners seek
definition in relation to the kinds of crime it is appropriate to
apply restorative justice to, how it relates to different forms of
punishment, to rehabilitation, and how it fits in with criminal
justice systems and the law of different countries --how to
reconcile the informal, participatory philosophy of restorative
justice with formal legal processes and the need for legal
safeguards.
