"This is one of the classics of the restorative justice literature by two of its most distinguished scholars. Thoughtful and empirically serious, it is work that opened the world's eyes to the innovation and importance of family group conferencing in New Zealand."
--John Braithwaite, Australian National University
"This book should be read by any policy maker, researcher, administrator, practitioner, victim, or youth rights advocate who is seriously interested in systemic transformation. It is a rich, definitive study of the impact on systems, and on the offending behavior of young people, of infusing the principles of restorative justice and family inclusion in decision making in youth justice."
--Gale Burford, University of Vermont
