This book takes bold steps in forming
much-needed philosophical foundations for restorative justice through
deconstructing and reconstructing various models of thinking. It challenges
current debates through the consideration and integration of various disciplines
such as law, criminology, philosophy and human rights into restorative justice
theory, resulting in the development of new and stimulating arguments. With
international contributions from various disciplines and through the use of
value based research methods, the book deconstructs existing concepts and
suggests a new conceptual model for restorative justice
