Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author argues that restorative justice in Canada and the U.S. has been co-opted and relegated to the sidelines of the dominant criminal justice system; that restorative justice transcends that system, and that if it isn't who we are, then it will never be sustainable : it must be a new paradigm for responding to harm and conflict. Facilitating this shift requires a rethinking of the assumptions around punishment and justice, placing emphasis instead on values and relationships; if we can achieve this change, we have the potential to build a healthier, more ethical and more democratic society.
