This is an impressive, thought-provoking and well-written book. It
is a valuable contribution on the theory of Restorative thinking,
justice and practice. The way in which the authors have cleverly
translated theory into practice is both authentic and informative.
This really comes alive through the sharing of real inspiring case
studies, which allows us to access the theory in a way that
translates into every day practice. I would recommend this book to
all those wanting to understand Restorative Practice and its true
value in society today and the future.

This is a splendid contribution to clarifying what we know and what
we do not yet understand about what makes restorative justice fail
or succeed. While much research and reflective practice remains to
be done to fill great voids in our understanding, this book takes
big steps forward. It is at once theoretically sophisticated and
practically useful.
