To achieve a transformative justice, Woolford and Neulund argue, restorative justice must be concerned with class-based, gendered, racialized and other injustices.  This second edition expands on how intersecting socio-politcal contexts — gendered, racialized, settler colonial, hetero-normative and others — contour the practice and potential of restorative justice. In addition to updated examples and data, this edition discusses the embodied and emotional politics of restorative justice, transformative restorative justice and other-than-human actors\/ecological justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Introduction to the Politics of Restorative Justice • What Events Trigger a Restorative Response? • Delineating the Restorative Justice Ethos: History, Theory and Restorative Justice • Restorative Justice Styles • Constructing Restorative Justice Identities • Restorative Justice Contexts • Restorative Justice Criticisms • Transformation and the Politics of Restorative Justice • References • Index","brand":"Fernwood Publishing Co Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887636689239,"sku":"9781773631417","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781773631417.jpg?v=1722545502"},{"product_id":"criminal-finances-act-2017-a-guide-to-the-new-law-9781784460914","title":"Criminal Finances Act 2017: A Guide to the New","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCriminal Finances Act 2017 is a new legislation guide which explains how the Criminal Finances Bill (which amends the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002) will affect your clients' business, how your firm will need to advise on it, as well as the effects it will have on your own firm.

Drawing on repeated in-depth interviews with incarcerated young men in the United States and Germany, Michaela Soyer argues that the apparent relative lenience of the German criminal justice system is actually founded on the violent enforcement of cultural homogeneity at the hands of the German welfare state.

The problem, Janus says, is that extreme offenders have been incorrectly cast as the archetypal sex criminal. The result has been laws that reflect and reinforce a distorted view of sexual violence, remove resources from more effective policies, and are the signs of a constitutionally questionable 'preventive state.' Janus argues that sexual predator laws reflect a conservative backlash against hard lessons learned from the feminist movement about the systematic nature of sexual violence in society. and the fact that most sexual offenses are committed by a member of the victim's family or social circle.

In the United States, however, children of color are disproportionately affected by poverty, poor educational outcomes, and structural discrimination, limiting their potential. In Reimagining Equality, Nancy E. Dowd sets out to examine the roots of these inequalities by tracing the life course of black boys from birth to age 18 in an effort to create an affirmative system of rights and support for all children.
