Changing Lenses, 25h Anniversary Edition

Does the criminal justice system actually help victims and offenders? What does justice look like for those who have been harmed? For those who have done harm?

Even twenty-five years after its first publication, Howard Zehr's Changing Lenses remains the classic text of the restorative justice field. Now with valuable author updates on the changing landscape of restorative justice and a new section of resources for practitioners and teachers, Changing Lenses offers a framework for understanding crime, injury, accountability, and healing from a restorative perspective.

Uncovering widespread assumptions about crime, the courts, retributive justice, and the legal process, Zehr forwards provocative new paradigms and proven alternatives for public policy and judicial reform.

This Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition of Changing Lenses includes author updates of terminology, paradigms, and recommended reading; foreword by restorative justice practitioner Sujatha Baliga; and new resources for teachers, facilitators, and practitioners.
