Understanding and Applying Restorative Justice: Critical Readings
on Why it's Needed and How it's Practiced provides students with
carefully selected readings that emphasize restorative justice as
an alternative approach to punishment or vengeance. The volume
highlights the differences between restorative justice and criminal
justice and demonstrates how to apply its key concepts and
principles in real-world situations. Opening chapters explain the
meaning and significance of restorative justice and also provide a
brief historical overview. In Unit II, students learn about the
conceptual and practical impacts of restorative justice. Units III,
IV, and V cover the practice of restorative justice in criminal
justice settings, educational settings, and within the community.
Closing readings help readers thoughtfully reflect upon
opportunities, challenges, and methodologies related to restorative
justice. Throughout, guiding questions, insightful introductions,
and post-reading questions encourage critical thought and support
retention. Demonstrating the possibilities and realities of
cultural and institutional changes aimed at building and restoring
healthy relationships, Understanding and Applying Restorative
Justice provides students with strong, foundational knowledge on a
critical topic. The anthology is an excellent supplementary text
for courses in sociology, criminal justice, social work, and
education.
When Communities Assess their AIDS Epidemics is a detailed
ethnographic description of the AIDS epidemic in ten U.S. cities
and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Employing a rapid ethnographic
assessment methodology, cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific
have implemented Project RARE (Rapid Assessment, Response, and
Evaluation) efforts. These RARE projects examine the moving edge of
the AIDS epidemic through descriptions of high-risk sites and
identifications of segments of the populations at greatest risk.
Utilizing a series of focus groups and street interviews, local
field research teams gain an insider's perspective on HIV risk
within social contexts. Dr. Benjamin P. Bowser, Dr. Ernest Quimby,
and Dr. Merrill Singer have compiled these critical studies that
analyze current conditions, challenges, and recommendations
encountered by RARE. When Communities Assess their AIDS Epidemics
is a powerful and engaging text that will appeal to those
interested in public health and anthropology.
