Routledge Restorative Justice in Transition - Law Book

Explore the complex application of restorative justice in nations facing historical challenges. This book from the Routledge Frontiers of Criminal Justice series examines how restorative practices function in environments where the state has been involved in human rights abuses, either explicitly or implicitly. While restorative justice is a growing mechanism for responding to crime in democratic settings, this text addresses a significant gap in current literature. It focuses on the specific needs and applications of restorative justice in nations that have dealt with protracted periods of conflict and oppression. By looking at both macro and micro utilisations, this work provides a necessary perspective on how justice can be rebuilt in difficult political landscapes. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of law, human rights, and criminal justice reform.
