Purchase options and add-ons

Here is a thoughtful and thought-provoking look at the impact of sexual abuse demonstrating how restorative justice can create hope through trauma.

Restorative justice is gaining acceptance for addressing harm and crime. Interventions have been developed for a wide range of wrongdoing. This book considers the use of restorative justice in response to sexual abuse. Rather than a blueprint or detailing a specific set of programs, it is more about mapping possibilities. It allows people to carefully consider its use in responding to violent crimes such as sexual abuse.

Criminal justice approaches tend to sideline and re-traumatize victims, and punish offenders to the detriment of accountability. Alternatively, restorative justice centers on healing for victims, while holding offenders meaningfully accountable. Criminal justice responses tend to individualize the problem, and catch marginalized communities, such as ethnic minorities, within its net. Restorative justice recognizes that sexual abuse is a form of gender-based violence. The table of contents includes:
  • Understanding Sexual Abuse
  • Restorative Justice
  • Victims: A Case Study
  • Offenders: A Case Study
  • Limits and Possibilities
  • And much more!

Community-based practices are needed, sometimes in conjunction with, and sometimes to counteract, traditional criminal justice responses.

    This is a timely book full of serious ways to work with sexual violence in ways that put the victim's needs first while providing opportunity for the offender to take responsibility and make real change. The emphasis on "who has been harmed?" broadens the focus that traditionally is so narrow it fails to notice or address the needs of families,friends and community members who also have been harmed. Thoughtful, hope-filled, practical and refreshing.
