Changing Lenses

A New Focus For Crime And Justice

BY HOWARD ZEHR
Probably the best introduction to the concept of Restorative Justice. The book begins by listing the abuses of our current retributive justice system and goes on to propose that we turn to a modernized restorative justice model that is fair to both victim and offender and which aims to prevent further crime while atoning for past ones. No one interested in mediation or criminal justice should be without this book.
