Summary

Restorative Justice Models explores the shift from retributive to restorative justice, a concept prioritizing rehabilitation, community healing, and offender accountability. This approach seeks to repair harm caused by crime, benefiting victims, offenders, and communities, in contrast to traditional punishment-focused systems. Interestingly, restorative justice traces its roots to indigenous practices and community-based conflict resolution, highlighting its long-standing presence in various cultures. The book argues that restorative justice presents a more effective and ethical framework than traditional punitive measures, offering evidence-based alternatives for safer communities.

The book begins by defining restorative justice's core concepts and contrasting them with traditional criminal justice models. It then examines various restorative justice models, such as victim-offender mediation, conferencing, and circle processes, analyzing their theoretical basis, practical application, and empirical outcomes. These models offer alternatives within criminal justice reform, moving towards offender accountability and rehabilitation.

Real-world examples and case studies illustrate the implementation of these models in diverse settings, including schools, workplaces, and criminal justice systems. Ultimately, the book provides guidance for implementing restorative justice practices, addressing common challenges, and offering strategies for overcoming them. It emphasizes ongoing research and innovation to further refine restorative practices, making it a valuable resource for practitioners, policymakers, and community members interested in creating more just and compassionate communities through restorative justice.

If We Knew Better We'd Move...

Steve Stokes

Most of us were never taught how to move. We learned to walk, to run, to jump, and then life took over. The habits stuck. The good ones and the bad ones. 
If We Knew Better, We'd Move Better is about the years that shape all of it. The idea is simple. The way a child learns to move between the ages of two and eight becomes the way they move for the rest of their life. Coach Steve Stokes calls this the Two8 Window. It is the window where movement gets wired in. 
This book is for parents who want to give their kids a real foundation. It is for coaches who want to understand why some athletes move with ease and others fight their own bodies. And it is for anyone who has ever felt like their body was working against them and wondered if it was too late to change. 
Drawing on more than twenty years of coaching and a career as a professional athlete, Coach Stokes breaks down how movement is built, where it breaks down, and what you can do about it at any age. No jargon. No fluff. Just clear, simple lessons you can use today. 
This is Volume One in The Seeds of Movement series. It will change the way you watch your kids play. It will change the way you move. And it will plant a seed that grows for a lifetime. 
Press play. Let's move better.

Quietly powerful - How your...

Megumi Miki

In the uncertain, changing, global and interconnected world, the 'alpha' or 'hero' leadership style alone is outdated and inadequate. Quieter professionals, who are often overlooked or taken advantage of without recognition, have immense value to contribute to organisations. In this book, Megumi Miki shares her own experience and those of many other quiet professionals who have achieved great success in the business environment. 
Megumi believes that a shift in our beliefs about leadership will allow talented quiet professionals to view their quiet nature as a strength and to succeed in their own way, rather than seeing it as a disadvantage. She aims to empower quieter professionals and those outside majority groups to fulfil their potential. 
Quietly Powerful challenges quiet professionals to reframe the story they tell themselves about their leadership potential - and encourages organisations to expand their ideas about what good leadership looks, sounds and feels like.
