Handbook on Restorative justice programmes, by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (2006).
This book has been published in the Criminal Justice Handbook Series. It was developed to support countries in the implementation of the rule of law and the development of criminal justice reform. It contains seven sections. The first one reviews the main concepts involved, as well as the values and objectives of participatory and restorative justice. Section two deals with the use of restorative justice programmes, while section three focuses on the question of the normative framework for such programmes. The remaining sections deal with various aspects of the implementation of a successful restorative programme. They deal respectively with programme design and implementation, programme operation and the mobilization of community assets, and programme evaluation issues and findings. The emphasis is on presenting information and referring to examples that will be useful in the development of new programmes in a variety of social, cultural and legal contexts.
