This small book holds a great amount of wisdom. Justice as it is currently practiced in american courts is more vengengance than concern for the individuals involved and their needs. This Book gives ways that we can make justice a process that is caring and effective in helping all involved feel heard, in provide restitution for victims and helps offenders become valued members of society again. I highly recommend this book to anyone dissatisfied with our current justice system.
On the opposite pole from retributive justice...

A very short read, clearly stated, and very well worth the hour. I love these "Little Books." This one brings to mind the Mennonite influences in America, these very same people whom W.E.B. DuBois celebrates in his essay "Atalanta." What a relief to read about justice that might restore person and place, while accounting for wrongdoing. It is a breath of fresh air to think of something other than fear-based Nixonian "law and order," which is the idea that retribution brings justice. (It never does. Think of Iraq.) One wonders whether these ideas are discussed in Criminology programs in universities across our country.
