"The meaning of "forgiveness" and its role within restorative justice are highly contested. This book offers analysis from practical and academic perspectives within Christian theology, against a rich canvas of related concepts, including victimhood, sin, love, and vulnerability. Critical friends of restorative justice, the authors argue that forgiveness whether as journey or act, unilateral or mutual, conditional or unconditional is necessary to achieving a fully restorative resolution to acts of harm. They also suggest that Christianity, with its meaning-giving metanarrative of restoration, and preference for communitarian approaches to justice, may have epistemic value for evaluating and even deepening the theory and practice of restorative justice." --

In this anthology, Professor Emeritus Lode Walgrave, a pioneer in the field of juvenile justice and restorative justice, revisits a selection of his publications, going back to the late 1990s to the late 2010s, on restorative justice as a response to offending. These include reflections on why restorative justice is valuable as well as on how it can and should be implemented. Can reparation be imposed and how would that relate to retribution? Is there room for punishment? The broader field is explored by examining how restorative justice contributes to civilising criminal justice and to a 'criminology of trust', all based on his socio-ethical concept of 'common self-interest'. In newly written introductory and concluding chapters, Walgrave explains how this journey in writing resulted in developing a consequential approach to restorative justice, which prioritises restorative responses to crime and delinquency.

"This book considers the relative utility of "thin sympathy" through the lens of Uganda, where conflict and division have festered for more than half a century. The book proposes a hypothesis that suggests that the development of even a very rudimentary understanding among individuals from each of the different factions and groups-of what has happened, of the basic facts of the other's suffering-could be the necessary condition for promoting not just peaceful coexistence but a society's ability to move forward together. And although many assume that this understanding already exists, the author's work and the work of others has clearly demonstrated that there is a significant gap in that kind of perception across different groups. In Uganda, for example, very few people know much of anything about what happened in Northern Uganda between the government of Uganda and the Lord's Resistance Army, and they know still less about the difficult experiences of northerners during the conflict. In fact, there is little cross-group knowledge between the 65 different ethnocultural groups of each other's experiences. Getting past that knowledge gap would allow them to at least understand why something like transitional justice might be necessary"--

This edited collection introduces and defines the concept of “comparative restorative justice”, putting it in the context of power relations and inequality. It aims to compare the implementation and theoretical development of restorative justice internationally for research, policy and practice. In Part I, this volume compares practices in relation to the implementing environment - be that cultural, political, or societal. Part II looks at obstacles and enablers in relation to the criminal justice system, and considers whether inquisitorial versus adversarial jurisdictions have impact on how restorative justice is regulated and implemented. Finally, Part III compares the reasons that drive governments, regional bodies, and practitioners to implement restorative justice, and whether these impetuses impact on ultimate delivery. Featuring fifteen original chapters from diverse authors and practitioners, this will serve as a key resource for those working in social justice or those seeking to understand and implement the tenets of restorative justice comparatively. Introduces comparative restorative justice in the context of power relations and inequality; Discusses obstacles and enablers to implementing restorative justice in the criminal justice system; Features fifteen original chapters from around the globe discussing restorative justice comparatively.
