The Restorative Justice Classics Series is an attempt to help create foundations and share memories for those interested in restorative justice. In a movement that grows and changes so incredibly fast and in so many diverse places, this book series creates space for cultivating restorative justice memory. Amidst the frenzy of work, growth, and mis- steps, this book series represents a commitment to bring back into print those restorative justice books and articles that could be considered classic. The label “classic” is used here loosely to refer to books that have shaped the restorative justice movement and whose writing continues to be worth remembering, worth sharing, and worth reconsidering amidst the changing scene. In most cases there is still a need for the content and thus a continuing demand for the books.
