THE POLITICS OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE: A Critical Introduction ,Andrew Woolford and Amanda Nelund
-Résumé
Restorative justice is an international movement that has made in roads into
justice policy in countries around the world, including the United States.
In this book, we seek to capture both global and local dimensions of this
movement.
The scholars and practitioners we draw on for insight originate from all parts
of the English-speaking world and beyond. Many of the examples, too, are global,
though many others are located in our home country:Canada.
The language may, at times, be in a Canadian vernacular: when we discuss the crown, for instance, know that we simply mean the state.
More important, the ideas, practices, and politics illustrated in these examples could
apply to any jurisdiction.
Wherever there is injustice, and wherever people work to imagine alternatives to somewhat rigid and formalized state processes, these visions of justice bump up against and collide with political realities that may either facilitate or thwart such efforts.
