Social Work and Restorative Justice: Skills for Dialogue, Peacemaking, and Reconciliation - Hardcover
by Elizabeth Beck (Editor), Nancy P. Kropf (Editor), Pamela Blume Leonard (Editor)
Restorative justice and social work share a number of principles and goals, as they both seek to stem violence and to address the pain associated with harm. Many of the processes used by restorative justice practitioners are based on indigenous practices that facilitate peacemaking, victim healing and reparation, and reengagement of offenders. As a method for transforming conflict, restorative justice can be viewed as a theory, a principle, a practice, and a skill set. Each of these components has the ability to inform and strengthen social work practice and restorative practices can be enhanced by the knowledge, practice modes, and interdisciplinary interaction pioneered by social work.
