Zusatztext
"This is a brave edited collection. The juxtaposition of restorative justice with sexual violence is an emotive topic and this collection faces the problems and the possibilities inherent in doing so with care, craft and thought. It brings together international expertise and will be of interest to an international audience. The editors are to be congratulated for putting such a valuable collection together that deserves to be read by a wide audience of practitioners, researchers and academics."

"This important book represents a major step forward in understanding the harms of sexual assault and the profound needs that survivors have in its aftermath. Presenting research from around the world, the authors examine how restorative justice may both meet and fail to meet these needs. In my view, this remarkable collection will guide work on this topic for many years to come."
James Ptacek, Professor and Chair, Department of Sociology, Suffolk University, USA
