Over 150,000-copies sold! Author Howard Zehr is the father of
Restorative Justice and is known worldwide for his pioneering work in
transforming our understanding of justice.

Here Zehr proposes
workable principles and practices for making Restorative Justice
possible in this revised and updated edition of his bestselling, seminal
book on the movement.

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 soft-on-crime, feel-good philosophy, but
rather a concrete effort to bring justice and healing to everyone
involved in a crime. In The Little Book of Restorative Justice,
Zehr first 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 from, without reducing or trivializing it. Topics
include:

• Three pillars of restorative justice
• The
  “who” and the “how” are important
• The
  goals of restorative justice
• Core approaches often involve an
  encounter
• And much more!

This resource is also
suitable for academic classes and workshops, for conferences and
trainings, as well as for the layperson interested in understanding this
innovative and influential movement.
