The Little Book of Restorative Discipline for Schools: Teaching Responsibility; Creating Caring Climates

"Can community-building begin in a classroom? The authors of this audiobook believe that by applying restorative justice at school, we can build a healthier and more just society. Can an overworked teacher possibly turn an unruly incident with students into an opportunity for learning, growth, and community-building? If restorative justice has been able to salvage lives within the world of criminal behavior, why shouldn't its principles be applied in school classrooms and cafeterias? And if our children learn restorative practices early and daily, won't we be building a healthier, more just society? Two educators answer yes, yes, and yes in this new addition to The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding series. Amstutz and Mullet offer applications and models. Discipline that restores is a process to make things as right as possible. This Little Book shows how to get there. The Little Book of Restorative Discipline is skillfully read by Karen Chilton, narrator of the audio edition of Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow. This audiobook includes a bonus conversation with series editor Howard Zehr and Sheryl Wilson, President of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Community and Restorative Justice.

The Big Book of Restorative Justice: Four Classic Justice & Peacebuilding Books in One Volume (Justice and Peacebuilding)

"For the first time, the four most popular restorative justice audiobooks in the Justice & Peacebuilding series —The Little Book of Restorative Justice: Revised and Updated, The Little Book of Victim Offender Conferencing, The Little Book of Family Group Conferences, and The Little Book of Circle Processes — are available in one audio volume. Restorative justice, with its emphasis on identifying the justice needs of everyone involved in a crime, is a worldwide movement of growing influence that is helping victims and communities heal while holding criminals accountable for their actions. This is not a soft-on-crime, feel-good philosophy, but rather a concrete effort to bring justice and healing to everyone involved in a crime. Circle processes draw from the Native American tradition of gathering in a circle to solve problems as a community. Peacemaking circles are used in neighborhoods, in schools, in the workplace, and in social services to support victims of all kinds, resolve behavior problems, and create positive climates Each book is written by a scholar at the forefront of these movements, making this important listening for classrooms, community leaders, and anyone involved with conflict resolution.

The Little Book of Victim Offender Conferencing: Bringing Victims and Offenders Together In Dialogue

"Victim offender dialogues have been developed as a way to hold offenders accountable to the person they have harmed and to give victims a voice about how to put things right. It is a way of acknowledging the importance of the relationship, of the connection which crime creates. Granted, the relationship is a negative one, but there is a relationship. Amstutz has been a practitioner and a teacher in the field for more than 20 years. This excellent audio resource draws on her experience and contributes indispensably to the Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series. This audio edition includes a bonus conversation between Lorraine Stutzman Amstutz and fellow victim-offender conferencing practitioner Michelle Armster, executive director at Mennonite central committee, central states region, which addresses developments in the practice in the years since the book was first published. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. ©2009 Good Books §"
