    Book SynopsisThis new book aims to explore the key issues and debates surrounding the question of the incorporation and institutionalisation of restorative justice within existing penal and criminal justice systems, an increasingly pressing issue given the rapid spread of restorative justice worldwide at both national and international levels. In doing so it aims to build bridges between those concerned with the practical institutionalisation of restorative justice on the one hand, and those engaged in more theoretical aspects of penal development and analysis on the other.

The prospect for institutionalization of restorative justice initiatives in western countries 2. The vital context of restorative justice 3. Beyond evangelical criminology: the meaning and significance of restorative justice 4. The intermediate position of restorative justice: the case of Belgium 5. Institutionalizing restorative justice? Transforming criminal justice? A critical view of the Netherlands 6. Institutionalizing restorative justice in a cold, punitive climate 7.

As serfs they have no rights to move freely or earn wages for their work. Tilda is desperate for a better life than the village can offer, so when the villagers begin to rebel she is swept up in the excitement. Tilda and her father travel to London with the others to petition the king, but the peaceful rebellion they hoped for soon ignites into violence, mayhem and treachery. Tilda''s fight for a better life is only just beginning...This page-turning adventure sheds new light on a period of history which is covered in the KS3 curriculum, and will have readers gripped from start to finish.Trade ReviewIf you are into history, into sweeping tales and wonderfully interesting books this is one for you. It has a lot of interesting points I don’t see often executed this well in a book. -- Moonkestrel * www.moonkestrel.com *Well paced and plotted, this is a great historical text. [...] There is excellent vocabulary and language used with lots of historical language that could be studied in a history or English lesson. -- ReadingZoneHe is a brilliant historical novelist. Dowswell shows us a side of Nazi Germany rarely seen ... a heart-stopping read * Sunday Telegraph, praise for AUSLÄNDER *A superlative, at times almost agonisingly compelling, piece of historical fiction ... The climactic escape to freedom is pure muck-sweat tension * Financial Times, praise for AUSLÄNDER *The author has real flair for making thoroughly researched historical fiction accessible, relevant and utterly gripping. Alongside being a perfectly plotted page-turner, Wolf Children will surely also provoke much debate and discussion * Lovereading4kids, praise for WOLF CHILDREN *One of the possible areas for study in the KS3 curriculum, the novel is well researched and follows the events of the revolt carefully, making them both compelling and accessible [...] Paul Dowswell is well known for his excellent historical novels and The Great Revolt is no exception. Well worth a read! * North Somerset Teacher's Book Award *This fabulous Dyslexia friendly mini-series is the perfect accompaniment to any topic on mythology. The perfect way to extend children’s knowledge around topics they are learning in class in an easy to access grown-up looking format. I love that the text is broken up by pictures and is spaced well, meaning they are more accessible to those who struggle with larger chunks of text whilst still looking to all intents and purposes like the friends they are helping. The fact these books are printed on yellow paper further increases their accessibility. -- Starlight and Stories * starlightandstories.com *
