Howard Zehr is the father of Restorative Justice and is known worldwide for his pioneering work in transforming understandings of justice. Here he proposes workable principles and practices for making Restorative Justice possible in this revised and updated edition of his bestselling, seminal book on the movement. (The original edition has sold more than 110,000 copies.)

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.

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.

"well written as an introduction to restorative justice. Left me wanting to read more about the subject. When appropriately used, restorative justice is a better choice than jail time."

The Little Book of Restorative Justice Revised and Updated Justice and Peacebuilding edition by Howard Zehr Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews

• Professor Zehr is an icon ins the field of Alternative Dispute Resolution and is the father of the Restorative Justice movement. His book, while small in stature, is chock full of theories, discourse, useful comparison tables/lists, and Zehr's thoughts on the fundamentals of a new (and much needed) approach to resolving "wrongs" in our society.
  
  This book is one of the core materials I use in a masters level conflict resolution program and is always one of the most favored of the class.
  
  Just to be clear, Prof Zehr doesn't provide the reader with a roadmap to Restorative Justice instead, he compares/contrasts the basic theories and procedures of the traditional justice system versus what he is proposing and allows the reader to fill in the structure.
• This provides a quick primer (an our our two is all it takes) into restorative justice (1) as an alternative to our failed "retributive" justice system; (2) as a "how to guide" for applying restorative justice principles to everyday conflicts; (3) as background for restorative justice in the Judeo-Christian religion. (I am using it for an adult book discussion in our church, which is affiliated with the United Church of Christ.)
• This book is a great way to approach reaching justice. The principles of RJ can be used in all types of conflict and offense, from parenting, to school discipline, to adult conflict in the workplace and off course as an alternative to the traditional way of handling criminal offenses. I do wish their were some examples of the encounter conversations or discussion on how long these processes can take, but it would have been a much longer book then. This book does a good job at staying focused on explaining the foundations and guiding principles of RJ instead of Telling people how it should be practiced.
• well written as an introduction to restorative justice. Left me wanting to read more about the subject. When appropriately used, restorative justice is a better choice than jail time.
• I do volunteer work for the MA and national Department of Peacebuilding Campaigns; Restorative Justice is one of the many peacebuilding programs we support. An ancient practice, it is now being used in schools, businesses, and in medical situations. State Senator James Eldridge has a Restorative Justice bill (SB 52) in the MA Legislature.
• Great book! Just getting into the filed of Restorative Justice this revised edition has given me the information I needed in an easily digestible format. A great reference guide.
• This little book is a great introduction to restorative justice ideas. I had heard of restorative justice but knew very little about it. Now that I’ve read this I feel like I know what people are talking about when they talk about restorative justice and have a framework to fit other justice-related ideas into.
• Great intro to RJ. Easy to read and to the point
