| Abstract | There is a growing acknowledgment among professionals and academics that we need to develop other responses to crime. This book provides an insight into the first introduction of restorative justice to the criminal justice system in the Republic of Ireland. By analysing six case studies of restorative conferencing events, the authors aim to address the salient question How does restorative conferencing for young offenders facilitate an exchange process whereby forms of reparation and social regulation may be achieved?. The restorative justice process has much to offer and the authors argue that this concept, particularly as it centres on the greater use of non custodial sentences, will bring about changes not only in the law but will have significant implications for social regulation. -- Provided by publisher. |
