For the first time, the four most popular restorative justice books
in the Justice & Peacebuilding series-The Little Book of
Restorative Justice: Revised and Updated, The Little Book of Victim
Offender Conferencing, The Little Book of Family Group Conferences,
and The Little Book of Circle Processes-are available in one
affordable volume. Restorative justice, with its emphasis on
identifying the justice needs of everyone involved in a crime, is a
worldwide movement of growing influence that is helping victims and
communities heal while holding criminals accountable for their
actions. This is not a soft-on-crime, feel-good philosophy, but
rather a concrete effort to bring justice and healing to everyone
involved in a crime. Circle processes draw from the Native American
tradition of gathering in a circle to solve problems as a
community. Peacemaking circles are used in neighborhoods, in
schools, in the workplace, and in social services to support
victims of all kinds, resolve behavior problems, and create
positive climates. Each book is written by a scholar at the
forefront of these movements, making this important reading for
classrooms, community leaders, and anyone involved with conflict
resolution.
Originally published in 1976. This study deals with crime as social
history in Germany and France during the nineteenth century. It
establishes the broad statistical patterns of crime over the
century so that the crime phenomenon can be analysed in the light
of the other main trends of economic and social life. One basic
concern is the relationship between crime and economic condition.
The second main issue is to establish whether specifically rural
and urban patterns of crime can be isolated. The third main concern
is to establish whether any relationship existed between patterns
of delinquency and the social upheaval which accompanied
industrialisation and urbanisation. These three main issues
continue as important questions in considering modern day crime.
Nineteenth century Germany and France provide an excellent context
in which to examine them because of the substantial urbanisation
and industrialisation which occurred between 1830 and 1914. As well
as providing an important contribution to the history of nineteenth
century society this book also indicates important lessons for the
contemporary world.

Side-by-side, time-lapse photos and interviews, separated by
twenty-five years, of people serving life sentences in prison, by
the bestselling author of The Little Book of Restorative Justice
"Shows the remarkable resilience of people sentenced to die in
prison and raises profound questions about a system of punishment
that has no means of recognizing the potential of people to
change." -Marc Mauer, senior adviser, The Sentencing Project, and
co-author (with Ashley Nellis) of The Meaning of Life "Life without
parole is a death sentence without an execution date." -Aaron Fox
(lifer) from Still Doing Life In 1996, Howard Zehr, a restorative
justice activist and photographer, published Doing Life, a book of
photo portraits of individuals serving life sentences without the
possibility of parole in Pennsylvania prisons. Twenty-five years
later, Zehr revisited many of the same individuals and photographed
them in the same poses. In Still Doing Life, Zehr and co-author
Barb Toews present the two photos of each individual side by side,
along with interviews conducted at the two different photo
sessions, creating a deeply moving of people who, for the past
quarter century, have been trying to live meaningful lives while
facing the likelihood that they will never be free. In the
tradition of other compelling photo books including Milton
Rogovin's Triptychs and Nicholas Nixon's The Brown Sisters, Still
Doing Life offers a riveting longitudinal look at a group of people
over an extended period of time-in this case with complex and
problematic implications for the American criminal justice system.
Each night in the United States, more than 200,000 men and women
incarcerated in state and federal prisons will go to sleep facing
the reality that they may die without ever returning home. There
could be no more compelling book to challenge readers to think
seriously about the consequences of life sentences.
Description: People too often enter into conflict with an eye on
how to resolve, manage, or transform it, thereby losing sight of
the people involved and the end desired. Justice and peace too
often serve as abstract ideals or distant shores. We have not yet
learned enough about how these ends can also be the means of
conflict resolution. Drawing on the imaginations of some leading
peace and restorative justice practitioners, Justpeace Ethics
identifies components of a justpeace imagination--the basis of an
alternative ethics, where the end is touched with each step. In
this simple companion to justpeace ethics, Jarem Sawatsky helps
those struggling with how to respond to conflict and violence in
both just and peaceful ways. He offers practical examples of how
analysis, intervention, and evaluation can be rooted in a justpeace
imagination. Endorsements: With wisdom and sensitivity, Justpeace
Ethics explores how justice and peace become one. There is genius
in the way it holds together diverging values: interconnectedness
and individual uniqueness, immediate care and long-term thinking,
change and humility, needs-focused action and nonviolence,
empowerment and responsibility. In such an ethic, life is sacred,
relationships are central, and justice is beautiful. A must read
for those who long for a better world. - John Derksen Conflict
Resolution Studies Menno Simons College Winnipeg, Canada This book
is an enormously valuable contribution to thinking about doing
justice and building peace. . . . Justpeace Ethics provides an
immensely practical guide to those seeking to build peace and
justice. At the same time, it is anything but a simple 'how to'
book. Rather, the patient reader is rewarded with an account of the
values of restorative justice and peacebuilding that is deeply
sophisticated, philosophically profound, and rooted in awareness of
the complexity of thinking and acting ethically. -Professor Gerry
Johnstone, author of Restorative Justice: Ideas, Values, Debates
This book provides a fresh and provocative perspective on the
intersection of restorative justice and conflict transformation. .
. . This is a must-read for conflict resolution academics and
practitioners. -Neil Funk-Unrau, Conflict Resolution Studies, Menno
Simons College, Canadian Mennonite University About the
Contributor(s): Jarem Sawatsky is Assistant Professor of Peace and
Conflict Transformation Studies, Canadian Mennonite University.
"This book asks-and answers-all the questions that rumble in the
back of my mind as I think about how to be faithful to my religious
tradition while working side by side with people of many different
faiths to engage in building peace. The book truly meets the
practitioners of peacebuilding halfway--addressing our dilemmas,
theories, and tactics with theological rigor." --Lisa Schirch,
-Lisa Schirch, Director, Partners Advancing Human Security;
Professor of Peacebuilding, Center for Justice and Peacebuilding,
Eastern Mennonite University. "This compact volume speaks to the
many factors of Jesus' practical relevance for the challenges of
contemporary peacemaking. In the spirit of such peacemakers as
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Kraus presents a christocentric vision as a
corrective to Christian ideologies that have rendered Jesus
irrelevant or condoned violence as a means to peace--and as a
bridge to other faith traditions through the very dialogical
process needed for others to consider Christianity a genuine
partner for peacemaking in the world today." --Larry Dunn,
Associate Professor of Peacemaking and Conflict Studies, Fresno
Pacific University. "If you are a Christian interested in peace, if
you are a Christian justice or peace practitioner, if you are
Buddhist or Hindu or Jewish and interested in understanding
connections between your own faith and Christian approaches to
peace-then this book is for you." --Howard Zehr, Professor of
Restorative Justice, Center for Justice and Peacebuilding, Eastern
Mennonite University, in the Foreword.

What is life like for a child who has a parent in prison? This
book brings together photographic portraits of 30 children whose
parents are incarcerated, along with their thoughts and
reflections, in their own words. As Taylor says, "I want other kids
to know that, even though your parents are locked up, they're not
bad people. "And I want them to know that we'll get through it. As
long as we have someone there to help us, we can get through it. It
makes you stronger."
The material in "What Will Happen to Me?" has been gathered and
written by two nationally-recognized experts. Howard Zehr is known
around the world as the "grandfather of restorative justice." He
lectures and consults internationally on that topic and related
issues. He is currently a member of the Victims Advisory Group of
the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
Lorraine Stutzman Amstutz travels the U.S. doing mediation work in

by Children." "Dealing with Emotions"--including grief and loss,
shame and stigma, anger and isolation. Resources for "Staying in
Touch," "Finding Moments of Celebration," "Adjusting to a Parent's
Return," "Self-Care for Family Caregivers," and "Suggestions for
Third-Party Caregivers." "The Children's Bill of Rights," along

Here, Howard Zehr offers his most complete view of Restorative
Justice as an approach to all of life. Zehr made his initial
contribution in the area of criminal justice by pointing out that
victims are sidelined in the Western justice system. He emphasized,
too, that society's laws for handling crime have often resulted in
increased violence, more prisons, and unresolved human cost. In
this book he:; Distills his pioneering and influential work in
Restorative Justice as a game-changer for the criminal justice
system and conflict of all kinds.; Joins his RJ work with what he's
discovered in his additional career as a professional photographer
and gatherer of people's stories.; Demonstrates how RJ practices
can extend to all of human interaction-through Respect,
Relationships, and Responsibility, along with Humility and Wonder.;
Shows how RJ can change our personal lives, as well as our
communities. This collection of Zehr's seminal thinking is
approachable, convincing, and inspiring. A powerful guide to
sustaining our life together.
Spanish Translation. Crime victims have many needs, most of which
our criminal justice system ignores. In fact, the justice system
often increases the injury. Offenders are less ignored by this
system, but their real needs-for accountability, for closure, for
healing-are also left unaddressed. Such failures are not
accidental, but are inherent in the very definitions and
assumptions which govern our thinking about crime and justice.
Howard Zehr proposes a "restorative" model which is more consistent
with experience, with the past, and with the biblical tradition.
Based on the needs of victims and offenders, he takes into account
recent studies and biblical principles. 288 Pages.
