Though programs operating the under the umbrella term of Restorative Justice may share a similar philosophy, they may follow different paths to achieve their goals. This book critically evaluates what restorative justice means today in its various different contexts and examines how the current state of research succeeds or fails in capturing the true state of.. The reaction to Ferguson, the murder of Trayvon Martin and other police-related deaths around the US has brought race and the criminal justice system to the forefront of current scholarly discussion.
