Reviews / Votes
"Restorative justice introduces philosophy and practice rooted in ancient cultures around the world with an essential relevance to many challenges faced today. It fosters personal responsibility, courage and conviction, and potential for transformation through respectful human to human encounters and is desperately needed." (Nancy Erbe, Professor, Negotiation, Conflict Resolution & Peacebuilding, California State University, USA)
"This incredible volume offers critical guidance in the practice of restorative justice and practice in education without being prescriptive. During intensely repressive times, this book and its numerous contributions, holds to the promise and potential of radically rehumanizing educational spaces. It moves beyond simply critiquing oppressive systems to the difficult and important work of social transformation." (Nolan L. Cabrera, author of "Whiteness in the Ivory Tower and White Guys on Campus")
