Epilogue: Reconstructing Restorative Justice Philosophy

Through the writings for this volume and the extant literature, we observe a shift in the justice tectonic plates; a different Zeitgeist. It relates to how you and I view, pursue, achieve and indeed want to experience justice at the inter-personal, inter-community and inter-state levels. The role of restorative justice in praxis is being explored. This book deconstructed the restorative justice concept through normative analysis of current debates and phenomena. The Epilogue is an ambitious attempt to reconstruct restorative justice philosophy. It posits a model for this reconstruction and explains its implications for further research, implementation and theory.
