The Little Book of Restorative Justice

"The Little Book of Restorative Justice" by Howard Zehr introduces a philosophy for addressing crime and conflict that emphasizes healing rather than punishment. It advocates for bringing together victims, offenders, and the community to discuss the harm caused and to collectively find ways to make amends. The book outlines restorative practices that focus on accountability, reparation, and restoring relationships, promoting understanding and empathy. It serves as a guide for both practitioners and those interested in creating a more just and compassionate society, highlighting the potential for reconciliation and transformation in the justice process.
