The legitimacy and performance of the traditional criminal justice
system is the subject of intense scrutiny as the world economic
crisis continues to put pressure on governments to cut the costs of
the criminal justice system. This volume brings together the
leading work on restorative justice to achieve two objectives: to
construct a comprehensive and up-to-date conceptual framework for
restorative justice suitable even for newcomers; and to challenge
the barriers of restorative justice in the hope of taking its
theory and practice a step further. The selected articles start by
answering some fundamental questions about restorative justice
regarding its historical and philosophical origins, and challenge
the concept by bringing into the debate the human rights and
equality discourses. Also included is material based on empirical
testing of restorative justice claims especially those impacting on
reoffending rates, victim satisfaction and reintegration. The
volume concludes with a critique of restorative justice as well as
with analytical thinking that aims to push its barriers. It is
hoped that the investigations offered by this volume not only offer
hope for a better system for abolitionists and reformists, but also
new and convincing evidence to persuade the sceptics in the debate
over restorative justice.
