Umbreit book focuses on facilitated dialogues in violent crimes
A young woman is murdered at a car wash. An entire family is killed by a drunk driver. The victim of a violent assault survives but spends years struggling to heal physically and emotionally. Offenders are apprehended, charged, tried, convicted and sentences. But it is not enough.
Across the nation, in increasing numbers, these and other victims of violent crimes have sought direct, personal encounters with the offenders who have harmed them. Facing Violence: the Path of Restorative Justice and Dialogue is the story of courageous victims and offenders who participated in facilitated dialogues in the aftermath of violent crimes. The book distills the results of interviews conducted with a total of 40 victims, 39 offenders and 21 program staff and volunteers in this pioneering effort on the part of the justice systems of Texas and Ohio.
