Restorative Justice : Ideas, Practices, Debates

An introduction to the most fundamental and distinctive ideas of restorative justice and to the key arguments both for and against its use. The main aim is to make the phenomenon of restorative justice and the major debates about it, comprehensible to relative newcomers, whether students of criminology, law or related disciplines, or researchers or professionals with an interest in crime and justice issues. At the same time, the book seeks to extend the range of the debate about the meaning of restorative justice, its pros and cons, and its broader significance.
