Thirty-eight papers presented by Sullivan (School of Criminal Justice, U. of Albany) and Tifft (sociology, Central Michigan U.) comprise this guide to the theory, principles, and practices of restorative justice around the world. Papers address processes and practices such as victim-offender mediation, conferencing, and peacemaking circles; foundations of restorative justice in Navajo peacemaking, the African concept of ubuntu, religious communities, and sanctuary movements; restorative justice and the needs of victims; restorative justice applications to domestic violence, child sexual abuse, and ethnic conflict; transitional justice and gross human rights violations in Serbia, Rwanda, and the Southwest Pacific; criticisms of restorative justice from community justice, postmodernist, feminist, and other perspectives; and restorative justice and its relationship to societal structural change. |
