Handbook of Restorative Justice A Global Perspective

Handbook of Restorative Justice: A Global Perspective is a collection of original, cutting-edge essays that offer an insightful and critical assessment of the theory, principles and practices of restorative justice around the globe. This much-awaited volume is a response to the cry of students, scholars and practitioners of restorative justice for a comprehensive resource about a practice that is radically transforming the way the human community responds to loss, trauma and harm.Its diverse essays not only explore the various methods of responding nonviolently to harms-done by persons, groups, global corporations and nation-states, but also examine the dimensions of restorative justice in relation to criminology, victimology, traumatology and feminist studies. In addition, they contain prescriptions for how communities might re-structure their family, school and workplace life according to restorative values.This Handbook is an essential tool for every serious student of criminal, social and restorative justice.Sullivan, Dennis is the author of 'Handbook of Restorative Justice A Global Perspective', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415353564 and ISBN 0415353564.
