Little Book of Restorative Justice by Howard Zehr
Vengeance and bitter violence have had their turns -- without redemptive results. How should we as a society respond to wrongdoing? When a crime occurs or an injustice is done, what needs to happen? What does justice require? Howard Zehr, known worldwide for his pioneering work in transforming our understandings of justice, here proposes workable Principles and Practices for making restorative justice both possible and useful. First he explores how restorative justice is different from criminal justice. Then, before letting those appealing observations drift out of reach, into theoretical space, Zehr presents Restorative Justice Practices. Zehr undertakes a massive and complex subject and puts it in graspable form, without reducing or trivializing it. This is a handbook, a vehicle for moving our society toward healing and wholeness. This is a sourcebook, a starting point for handling brokenness with hard work and hope. This resource is also suitable for academic classes and workshops, for conferences and trainings. By the author of Changing Lenses; Transcending: Reflections of Crime Victims; and Doing Life: Reflections of Men and Women Serving Life Sentences.Howard Zehr is often referred to as the Father of Restorative Justice. Since 1996, he has served as Professor of Restorative Justice at Eastern Mennonite University's Center for Justice & Peacebuilding in Harrisonburg, Virginia, an international graduate program for justice and peacebuilding practitioners. Doing Life: Reflections of Men and Women Serving Life Sentences and Transcending: Reflections of Crime Victims (both with Good Books) are two further portrait/interview books by Howard. Shifting Lenses: A New Perspective for Crime and Justice (Good Books) and The Little Book of Restorative Justice (Good Books) are two of his other works and publications. Throughout North America and globally, he is a frequent lecturer and consultant on themes of justice. Zehr has also worked as a photographer in the past.
