Restorative Theory in Practice: Insights Into What Works and Why: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Restorative Theory in Practice: Insights Into What Works and Why" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Restorative practice is an innovative approach to thinking about, and addressing, conflict and bullying, as well as disruptive, challenging and criminal behaviour. The approach is increasingly used to transform the culture of organisations, institutions and services and the way people communicate with one another. In this book, ten practitioners describe a restorative encounter as seen through the lens of their own theoretical model. The books unique structure is modelled on a restorative practice known as Circle Time- comprising of a Check-in, a Main Activity, and a Check-out. In the Check-in the practitioner explains how their own theoretical model informs their practice; in the Main Activity they comment on the same case studies to highlight how each theory can deepen our understanding of what might be happening and why; and in the Check-out they reflect on what they have learned from reading each others contributions. This is a unique exemplar of how restorative theory and practice can influence how practitioners think, learn and write about restorative practice. This will be an invaluable resource for restorative practitioners working across sectors including education, social services, youth offending or policy.

Introduction
BELINDA HOPKINS
Who is the book for?
This is a book for all those who are fascinated by restorative practice and especially by what makes it so effective, often in situations where without it things may have got much worse. This fascination may have come for professional reasons, from the desire to gain a deeper understanding of what is actually going on when people come together in what are called restorative encounters. Might there be some essential elements to such an encounter without which the process would fail to address the needs of all those present? Might there be other factors that enhance the process in certain cases but not others? Is there a set of necessary, if not always sufficient, conditions under which restorative interventions are more likely to be successful in the eyes of those involved? All these are questions for restorative practitioners and for those who, like myself, combine hands-on restorative practice with training and trainer development. For all of us, on-going professional development involves deepening our understanding of what we do, how we do it, and how we can do it better, for the sake of those we serve whether those harmed or those responsible for the harm (or both, as is so often the case).
This book is not simply for practitioners however. Some readers will be among the rapidly growing community of restorative academics, evaluators and researchers, keen to deepen their own understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of restorative practice, and perhaps make links to other fields and other practices. New ways to look at restorative practice can shed light on so many aspects of the human condition. Such readers may view restorative processes through the lens of criminology, psychology, psychiatry, sociology, biology, neuroscience, linguistics, anthropology or any combination of these. All these lenses, and more besides, can help us to understand what people are going through in the aftermath of harmful behaviours. It may become clearer how restorative responses provide the answer to questions not previously even fully understood.
A brief history of restorative justice
The field of restorative justice, approaches and practices is so diverse these days that it becomes difficult to find a single overarching definition on which everyone can agree. Indeed, the on-going debates and controversies keep the field dynamic, self-critical and in constant development, which I believe to be a healthy thing. However, I subscribe to the belief that there are some critical core ingredients to effective restorative practice and these can be found in the ancestral lineage of the field, which this section briefly summarises.
As is often the case, a professional field develops its own creation myths about how it all began, and restorative justice is no different. Innovatory approaches to youth offending in Ontario in the 1970s informed the development of victim-offender mediation across North America, which in turn spread to Europe (Liebmann 2007). Centuries-old community problem-solving circles used by Maori people inspired what has become known as family group conferencing circles in New Zealand (Drewery 2004). Indigenous peoples in North America have influenced the development of sentencing circles and other circle practices (Pranis 2005).
Subsequent commentators have warned against over-simplification of these apparent golden age myths (Cunneen 2007). Nevertheless their influence can be felt in the diverse ways in which restorative practice has developed and continues to develop around the world. New Zealands experience with family group conferencing influenced justice professionals in New South Wales, Australia, for example. The original model developed by OConnell (known as the Wagga Wagga model after the city in New South Wales, where he was working as a police officer), identified some critical language and key stages to follow to help to repair the damage done after an offence (Moore and OConnell 2003). This scripted approach, as it has become known, is widely used in one form or other, across the globe. At some point both the practice of bringing victim and offender face-to-face in dialogue, and the practice of including friends and family members in the dialogue became collectively known as restorative justice.
