Umbreit and Peterson Armour publish new book on restorative justice dialogue
Spring Publishing Company published a new book in June 2010 by Prof. Mark Umbreit and former doctoral student Marilyn Peterson Armour. From the publisher's website: Restorative justice provides an entirely different way of understanding and responding to conflict and violence within communities. Neither a specific program or strategy, the values and principles that restorative justice is grounded in can challenge us to change the way each one of us treat each other and how we respond to conflict, both in our professional and personal lives. This book provides an overview of the restorative justice movement and its connection with core social work values and spirituality. Each chapter includes both a thorough description of the process, including case examples, followed by a review of empirical research that is available.
