Overview

In this new, significantly revised edition of an acclaimed text, the authors reconsider restorative justice and its politics both globally and locally. The authors clarify key theoretical issues while offering fresh perspectives and provocative questions. Observing that “transformative justice is an always unfinished project,” they ask how the approach might be more effective; and they explore in depth how intersecting sociopolitical contexts—gendered, racialized, and colonial, among others—contour the practice and potential of restorative justice.

Reviews

Woolford's book can serve as a primer for those not schooled in this international social movement.... [It] can also serve as a reference for those who are aware of the existing critiques yet may need help in framing the issues and understanding the challenges and full potential for ideational change, which have not been clearly described before this groundbreaking work.... A must read for all concerned with the need for change in the administration of punitive justice. Woolford manages simultaneously to critique, challenge, encourage and tantalize his readers.
