Restorative justice can offer a pathway back -- for the victim, the community and the offender -- by focusing on doing what is necessary to restore trust. To date, restorative justice has lacked a central focus, which largely prevents its use in serious cases (as opposed to minor adult and juvenile cases). The author grapples with two central issues as restorative justice attempts to make the transition to the criminal justice mainstream: (1) the problem of reconciling private and public justice; and (2) the problem of reconciling punishment with restoration.
Dr. London outlines a unique and unprecedented approach to restoring trust in the societal response to crime.
