Restorative Justice and Violence Against Women by James Ptacek (Editor)Call Number: HV 6250.4 .W65 R465 2010
Publication Date: 2010
This path-breaking book examines new justice practices for victims that are being used in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. These informal, dialogue-based practices, referred to as "restorative justice," seek to decrease the role of the state in responding to crime, and increase the involvement of communities in meeting the needs of victims and offenders.
