Book Synopsis The Big Book of Restorative Justice by : Howard Zehr
Download or read book The Big Book of Restorative Justice written by Howard Zehr and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four most popular restorative justice books in the Justice & Peacebuilding series—The Little Book of Restorative Justice: Revised and Updated, The Little Book of Victim Offender Conferencing, The Little Book of Family Group Conferences, and The Little Book of Circle Processes—in one affordable volume. And now with a new foreword from Howard Zehr, one of the founders of restorative justice! Restorative justice, with its emphasis on identifying the justice needs of everyone involved in a crime, is a worldwide movement of growing influence that is helping victims and communities heal while holding criminals accountable for their actions. This is not a soft-on-crime, feel-good philosophy, but rather a concrete effort to bring justice and healing to everyone involved in a crime. Circle processes draw from the Native American tradition of gathering in a circle to solve problems as a community. Peacemaking circles are used in neighborhoods, in schools, in the workplace, and in social services to support victims of all kinds, resolve behavior problems, and create positive climates. Each book is written by a scholar at the forefront of these movements, making this important reading for classrooms, community leaders, and anyone involved with conflict resolution.

Book Synopsis Crime and Reconciliation by : Mark Umbreit
Download or read book Crime and Reconciliation written by Mark Umbreit and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime and Reconciliation describes the original setting in the United States where contemporary restorative justice practices first took root. Having worked with the Indiana-based Prisoner and Community Together program (PACT), which eventually advocated for healing dialogue between offending and victimized parties along with family and community members, Mark Umbreit received firsthand experience, which, ten years later, he wrote about in this early classic. In the face of overcrowded jails and a nation with the highest per capita prison population in the world, the author presents a viable alternative to the tough “law and order” approach. Casework examples are plentiful in chapters which also conclude with study guide questions for discussion groups. Written in 1985, students of the history of modern restorative justice will appreciate the wide vision held by the pioneering practitioners who laid the foundations for a peacemaking movement that is now worldwide. This book also highlights how church communities played a key role, through independent ministries of reconciliation, in fostering the early growth of restorative work. And yet, the phrase “restorative justice” will not be found in this entire book, as it still took a few more years for that term to be popularized.

Book Synopsis Restorative Justice in a Prison Community by : Cheryl Swanson
Download or read book Restorative Justice in a Prison Community written by Cheryl Swanson and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2009-03-16 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans are frustrated with prisons. They recognize the need for these institutions, but at the same time, they worry about whether the money used to build and maintain them is well spent. Older prisons are dirty, disgusting, and dangerous, but even newer facilities come up lacking in terms of offering inmates opportunities to take responsibility for their crimes, support their loved ones, further their education, learn job skills, and develop positive relationships in healthy, safe, respectful communities. This book provides insight into the philosophy of restorative justice, which aims to develop ways we can manage our prisons differently to achieve more positive outcomes. Using the case study of an honor dorm in a maximum security prison, the book posits that most of the inmates never learned the basic tools for living life productively and responsibly. They never thought much about their victims or how their actions affected others. They never learned how to get along with others, pick up after themselves, or how to be of service to their fellow man. Swanson uses the writings and reflections of inmates participating in a restorative justice program to demonstrate the challenges and transformative possibilities of this alternative approach to rehabilitation.

Book Synopsis Peace and Justice Shall Embrace by : A. Companion
Download or read book Peace and Justice Shall Embrace written by A. Companion and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a penetrating critique of our criminal justice and penal systems from the unique, firsthand experiences of its priest-prisoner author. His conclusion is that they are “sick, broken, rudderless systems that neither correct nor rehabilitate offenders, nor help or heal victims.” A compelling case is made—from practical, biblical and humane arguments—for moving from retributive-punishment models of seeking justice to restorative-rehabilitative ones. Restorative justice actively involves victims, offenders and the community in a joint process of working toward healing, restitution, rehabilitation and reconciliation. Incarceration becomes only one option, rather than the foregone conclusion. Specific proposals are made for reforming the justice, prison and parole systems. Examples of working models are presented. Evaluation tools and discussion guides are provided. Christians will find rich meditative material and spiritual challenges, as the author plumbs the scriptures and Catholic social justice teachings for personal moral answers and principled civic policies. One chapter offers examples of what individuals, parishes and dioceses can and are doing to promote restorative justice. A cross-reference is included to the November 2000 document on criminal justice by the U.S. Catholic bishops. Topics covered include: the relationship of poverty, race, mental illness and drug addiction to incarceration; capital punishment; the consequences of three-strikes and minimum-mandatory sentencing; the effects of politics on policy; inadequate legal representation for the poor.

Book Synopsis The Little Book of Restorative Justice for Sexual Abuse by : Judah Oudshoorn
Download or read book The Little Book of Restorative Justice for Sexual Abuse written by Judah Oudshoorn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restorative justice is gaining acceptance for addressing harm and crime. Interventions have been developed for a wide range of wrongdoing. This book considers the use of restorative justice in response to sexual abuse. Rather than a blueprint or detailing a specific set of programs, it is more about mapping possibilities. It allows people to carefully consider its use in responding to violent crimes such as sexual abuse. Criminal justice approaches tend to sideline and re-traumatize victims, and punish offenders to the detriment of accountability. Alternatively, restorative justice centers on healing for victims, while holding offenders meaningfully accountable. Criminal justice responses tend to individualize the problem, and catch marginalized communities, such as ethnic minorities, within its net. Restorative justice recognizes that sexual abuse is a form of gender-based violence. Community-based practices are needed, sometimes in conjunction with, and sometimes to counteract, traditional criminal justice responses. This book describes impacts of sexual abuse, and explanations for sexual offending, demonstrating how restorative justice can create hope through trauma.
Book Synopsis A Peacemaking Approach to Criminology by : Louis J. Gesualdi
Download or read book A Peacemaking Approach to Criminology written by Louis J. Gesualdi and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A peacemaking approach to criminology is a humane, nonviolent, and scientific approach to the treatment of crime and the offender. It looks at crime as just one of the many types of suffering that exemplify human life. According to peacemaking criminologists, efforts to put a stop to such suffering need to take into account a main rebuilding of America’s social institutions—such as the economic system and the criminal justice system—so that they no longer create suffering. In short, the U.S. as a society pays no notice to prevention but rather embraces the tenets of imprisonment and punishment. A peacemaking approach to criminology deals with prevention of crime and rehabilitation of offenders and involves principles of social justice and human rights. This collection of twenty-two essays provides a comprehensive introduction to a peacemaking approach to criminology.
