The purpose of this book is to illuminate a theory of youth
engagement in restorative justice that seeks to create systems
change for more equitable schools. The authors define youth
engagement in restorative justice as partnering with young people
most impacted by structural injustice as changemakers in all
aspects of restorative practices including community building,
healing, and the transformation of institutions. Based on Adam
Fletcher's version of the Ladder of Youth Engagement, coupled with
Barbara Love's model of liberatory consciousness and an analysis of
youth engagement in Restorative Justice in three different
regions--Western Massachusetts, Oakland, and Houston--the authors
provide a theoretical contribution: Youth Engagement in Restorative
Justice grounded in liberatory consciousness. In this book readers
will find: Comparative case studies from different parts of the
country of youth led restorative justice programs. An exploration
of the cultural and historical context of each region to situate
the work. Stories from the authors' own lives that provide context
for their interest in the work given their varied racial identities
(White, Black, Latinx, South Asian) and upbringing. Literature
review of the language of youth engagement vs. youth
leadership/youth organizing/youth participation, along with a new
definition of youth engagement in restorative justice. Theoretical
framing based on Adam Fletcher's Ladder of Youth Engagement, which
provides a structure for the book. Exploration of how adults must
combat adultism both individually and systematically as a
prerequisite to doing this work. Student narratives. Applications
