This must read, published in honor of the late Dr. Gordon Bazemore, is truly a rare find: a compilation of articles excellently edited by Pavelka and Seymour that provide the research and historical foundation, as well as operational guidance for restorative justice practice, whether in the legal system, education setting or the community.
This multi-disciplinary volume builds on the legacy of restorative justice visionaries; in particular, it is a tribute to Professor Gordon Bazemore. It is a testament to the strength and breadth of those visionaries. A must read to embrace the movement today.
