Synopsis

Restorative circles are an effective way of implementing restorative justice, through starting a conversation wider than just the victim and the offender.

Accompanied by illustrations, interviews and case studies to show how to start using restorative circles, this practical guide is the perfect introduction for schools looking to improve their methods of conflict resolution.
