A comprehensive scholarly engagement with the key issues of restorative justice in transitional settings. Students of transitional justice will find this an analytically incisive introduction to the restorative justice vision and challenges for peace building. - John Braithwaite, Australian National University. For anybody who is interested in the fields of peace-making, transitional justice and restorative justice, Kerry Clamp's book Restorative Justice in Transition is an absolute must. It should be on the desk of every serious scholar with an interest in these areas. - Elmar G.M. Weitekamp, Ph.D., Institute of Criminology, University of Tuebingen, Germany. The book is engaging and well structured. The language is approachable and once the book was in my hands I could not let it go. - Dr. Theo Gavrielides, Internet Journal of Restorative Justive The major contribution to knowledge that this book makes is a clear, systematic and critically balanced attempt to clarify and categorise how restorative justice engages with transitional justice from a criminological, rather than legal or political perspective. These are the author's stated goals and she achieves them comprehensively. Furthermore the book has a genuinely international flavour that draws on a wide range of examples and research from around the world. It does not shy away from some of the uncomfortable criticisms of restorative justice's rendering of indigenous or tribal justice and is clear when the evidence does not support either the aspirations or claims of the restorative movement. These are the books major strengths and it will be of intrinsic interest and value to students, teachers and researchers working not only in the areas of restorative and transitional justice but also international crime, mass victimisation, community empowerment, comparative justice, international law and international relations... It is undoubtedly an important contribution to restorative justice research and will be of great interest to all of us interested in this field. - Simon Green, University of Hull, Restorative Justice, An International Journal
