description: What is restorative justice, and how should it be used to reform our society? Dennis Sullivan and Larry Tifft passionately expound a radical critique of the existing justice system and outline a needs-based restorative justice alternative. They also propose that restorative justice principles be extended far beyond the legal system, to families, schools, workplaces, neighborhoods and other societal institutions. A wide variety of examples of the needs-based approach are presented, including juvenile justice conferencing, victim-offender mediation, an inclusion school in New Jersey, and truth commissions in two dozen nations, among many others.
