As restorative justice continues to grow, expanding into new
contexts and guided by practitioners from a wide range of
backgrounds, it is critical that we maintain a solid foundation in
the core guiding principles of the field and a strong connection to
theories that support the work. Such a focus on restorative justice
praxis brings together practice and theory, each informing the
other and resulting in action that is guided by critical
reflection. Belinda Hopkins contributes to this much-needed praxis
by collaborating with ten leaders in the field of restorative
justice who share the theories that support their work. This is not
just a theory book, however; each of the theories is situated in
ongoing work and applied in practical ways. This will definitely be
a text I use in my classes.

Education, Eastern Mennonite University, Harrisonburg, Virginia,

It has been said that restorative justice is a practice in search
of a theory. Thanks to Belinda Hopkins we now have ten theories
succinctly outlined and applied to restorative practices.
Practitioners, academics and students who want to analyse and
deconstruct ideas that support restorative justice will find that
this book will be an invaluable resource for many years.
*Tim Chapman, Course Director, Ulster University Masters in
Restorative Practices*
In this book, Belinda Hopkins has brought together an important set
of contributions in this maturing field of enquiry. It is no mean
feat to structure a book in a way that reflects the restorative
principles and process itself, but in doing so, she has
successfully opened up space for debates on key issues from a range
of significant perspectives. This thought provoking book will be
helpful to practitioners, trainers and students alike.
*Dr Gillean McCluskey, Head of Institute for Education, Community &
Society, University of Edinburgh*
This new book is a valuable addition to the literature around
restorative practice. Bringing together a range of contributors
with experience of delivering restorative practice, and
innovatively structured based around a restorative process, it
examines restorative encounters from different perspectives and
explores the ways in which successful outcomes may be achieved.
Clear, accessible and interesting, this book is well worth reading
for anybody interested in restorative practice.
*Jon Collins, Chief Executive Officer, Restorative Justice Council,
UK*
