The increasing popularity of restorative justice has prompted new and varying applications of its core principles. The authors of The Promise of Restorative Justice highlight the ways that these new ideas now spark innovations both throughout the criminal justice system and in arenas as diverse as business, education, athletics, and the aftermath of ethnic conflict.  They offer fresh approaches to addressing the problems of crime and other human conflicts in ways that productively incorporate the values of mutual respect, accountability, and ultimately reconciliation between offenders and victims.

Seeking to shed light on how we might end mass incarceration, The Price of Freedom compares the histories and goals of the American and German justice systems. Drawing on repeated in-depth interviews with incarcerated young men in the United States and Germany, Michaela Soyer argues that the apparent relative lenience of the German criminal justice system is actually founded on the violent enforcement of cultural homogeneity at the hands of the German welfare state. Demonstrating how both societies have constructed a racialized underclass of outsiders over time, this book emphasizes that criminal justice reformers in the United States need to move beyond European models in order to build a truly just, diverse society.

Die Polizei als Objekt kritischer Wissenschaft ist ein beliebter, aber keinesfalls einfacher Gegenstand für Forscher*innen. Der Zugang zum Feld, die Akzeptanz der Methoden und die Diskussion der Ergebnisse sind geprägt von Misstrauen und Skepsis. Gleichzeitig wird Wissenschaftler*innen eine zu große Nähe vorgeworfen, wenn sie selbst Teil der Polizei sind oder für Behörden arbeiten. Was also ist zu tun? Die Beiträger*innen nutzen Beispiele aus der Forschungspraxis, um über die empirische Arbeit in der Polizei als Beispiel für eher schwer zugängliche Institutionen zu berichten und zu reflektieren. Dabei geht es um häufige Missverständnisse, falsche Erwartungen und gelungene Annäherungen auf beiden Seiten.
