Restorative Justice: How It Works
Autor Marian Liebmannen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 apr 2007
Considerăm acest manual un instrument esențial pentru înțelegerea mecanismelor de reparație socială, oferind o perspectivă aplicată asupra modului în care justiția restorativă poate sprijini atât victimele, cât și infractorii. Structurată riguros în 16 capitole, lucrarea pornește de la fundamentele teoretice și istorice, avansând spre modele practice de interacțiune și studii de caz din diverse sisteme juridice globale. Subliniem modul în care Marian Liebmann reușește să demonstreze flexibilitatea acestei filozofii, extinzând analiza dincolo de sala de judecată către mediul educațional, unde tratează combaterea bullying-ului, și către mediul penitenciar, prin programele de responsabilizare a deținuților. Spre deosebire de Handbook of Restorative Justice de Dennis Sullivan, care oferă o evaluare critică și teoretică la nivel global, volumul de față este mult mai orientat spre practician, oferind protocoale specifice pentru cazuri sensibile, cum sunt violența sexuală sau conflictele comunitare post-război. Credem că valoarea adăugată a acestei ediții rezidă în abordarea holistică: nu se limitează la sistemul de justiție penală din Marea Britanie, ci explorează și tradițiile indigene Maori sau Aborigene, oferind cititorului o viziune comparativă. În contextul operei sale, care include titluri precum Art Therapy and Social Action sau Art Therapy and Anger, autoarea menține interesul pentru utilizarea metodelor creative, dedicând un capitol special abordărilor artistice în procesele de reconciliere. Este o resursă care completează curriculumul de asistență socială și criminologie prin echilibrul dintre rigoarea cercetării și exemplele concrete de mediere.

Descriere
Drawing on many years' experience of working in victim support, probation, mediation and restorative practices, Marian Liebmann uses pertinent case examples to illustrate how restorative justice can be used effectively to work with crime and its effects. Also included are sections on confronting bullying in schools, dealing with sexual and racial violence, tackling antisocial behaviour and community reconciliation after war. Whether in the context of families, schools, communities, criminal justice or prisons, the author argues that restorative justice is a `seamless philosophy' which can be applied flexibly to meet diverse needs. Liebmann provides an international outlook, examining how restorative justice is practised around the world, including traditional Maori and Aboriginal approaches.
Restorative Justice: How It Works is a key reference for magistrates, social workers, probation officers, Youth Offending Team workers, police, teachers and health professionals, as well as the lay reader.
Recenzii
It is a joy to read a carefully considered and crafted book by an author who is a leader in their field. This is all the more so when you are being led from a state of uncertain ignorance in the subject, through to that satisfying feeling of being able to know that by the end you have some grip on the topic...Art therapy is one of Marian's passions, and her expertise and appreciation of its transformative power leaps from these pages...By placing people, and not processes, at the centre of justice and demonstrating the effect that art can have on those involved, the restorative approach brings a human element to crime and its effects. And there can be few books better that this one to guide the inquiring mind through that landscape of pain and redemption.
Marian Liebmann, already well known in the field of restorative justice (RJ), here surveys modern RJ, from its origins in Canada more than 30 years ago up to 2007. Her experience in teaching, victim support, mediation and RJ itself enables her to give this broad overview, including not only the criminal law sense of the phrase but also restorative processes or practices in many other contexts.
Marian Liebmann's book is an excellent introduction to the field, giving a clear insight into what RJ is and how it works. This is an uplifting book. In times when we are constantly assailed on all sides by dreadful news of crimes and wars, it is heartening to learn to initiatives that bring reconciliation and reparation, and which are shown to be working. Very readable and clearly written book extremely useful. I strongly recommend this book as an excellent introduction to a topic of ever-groing importance.
The book is easy to read; it is easy to pick up and put down and pick up again to read where I left off. It's a great browsing book and at no time did I feel lost in "academic-speak."
The considerable achievement of this book that it covers a broad international field and explains in detail how restorative justice practice works in different context. Marian Liebmann's book is for practitioners of restorative justice, for those coming to the practice for the first time and for many professionals who need to know about it as it increasingly impinges on their work.
The strength of this book is in its ability to present a considerable amount of information providing a good overview of the development of restorative justice. The book benefits from the provision of examples and methods of practice which further highlight the key debates within restorative justice. One of the key debates is how restorative justice fits within a jurisdiction which views criminal justice as a 'system' rather than a 'process', and in which cultures are entrenched to the extent that there are barriers to utilising some of the benefits of restorative justice. The book would be a very useful addition to any reading list for students of restorative justice, for practitioners and policy makers.
This comprehensive guide provides an accessible introduction to the philosophy of restorative justice and its practical application in a wide range of settings, showing how it can help both victims and offenders when harm has been done… Restorative Justice: How It Works is a key reference for magistrates, social workers, probation officers, Youth Offending Team workers, police, teachers and health professionals, as well as the lay reader.
This is an optimistic book which I am glad to have read.

I strongly recommend this book as an excellent introduction to a topic of ever-growing importance.
