Restorative Justice Philosophy to Practice

The astonishing development of restorative justice practice over the past decade has inspired creative new thinking about the philosophy of punishment and principles of justice. Many of the questions raised in this book - such as the relationship between restorative and retributive justice and the values and processes which should guide restorative practice - are the subject of intense debates. With contributions from many of the most distinguished scholars in the field, this book analyzes the gap between philosophy and practice and the need for practice to be more informed by philosophy. This volume is a milestone in the development of those underlying principles which will direct the progress of restorative justice in the future.Strang, Heather is the author of 'Restorative Justice Philosophy to Practice' with ISBN 9780754621478 and ISBN 0754621472.
