Restorative Justice Today: Applications of Restorative Interventions takes a hard look at the issues and concepts
surrounding restorative justice and current restorative practices used in a broad range of areas today. In a time when the
cost of prisons and jails is on the rise resulting in more offenders being kept out of the community, this timely and
contemporary book exposes readers to a range of restorative practices that can be implemented. The authors, renowned
experts in the area of restorative justice, provide information not found in other restorative justice texts.
