Yantzi draws on current theories of counseling offenders, restorative justice philosophy, Christian theology, and over twenty years of experience. He offers compelling alternatives to address complex issues for the church and community in responding to sex offenders. Caroline Duimering, Social Worker Yantzi's book sets out some of the hard-won learnings from the struggles in the 80s and 90s to understand sexual abuse and to forge useful responses to it. Let's hope that the practitioners of the new century will expand on the significant work which pioneers like Yantzi have laid down. Dave Worth, MCC, Ontario

Author Information

Mark Yantzi has promoted Restorative Justice (RJ) since 1974 when he and David Worth convinced a judge to allow two youths with 22 charges of willful damage to meet their victims and make restitution instead of jail. He founded Community Justice Initiatives in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, which has 17 different RJ programs (www.cjiwr.com). In 2009 he retired as executive director and continues to work on RJ issues. Applying RJ to sexual abuse issues is one of the most pioneering aspects of his work.
