Restorative Justice and Practices in New Zealand: Towards a Restorative Society edited by Gabrielle Maxwell and James Liu

By / 27 September 2007

The quest for justice has been a powerful driving force in all human societies. In recent times, the notion of restorative justice has gained currency. To achieve restorative justice all those affected by crime must be involved in finding a solution – one that repairs the harm and restores broken relationships. This means striving to rebuild the damaged lives not only of those who have suffered but also of those who have caused suffering to others. This book provides an up-to-date account of how restorative processes and practices are being applied in New Zealand in the justice system, education, civil disputes and governmental responses to historical wrongs.

Dr Gabrielle Maxwell, previously Director of the Crime and Justice Research Centre, Victoria University of Wellington is now a Senior Associate at the Institute of Policy Studies.

Dr James Hou-fu- Liu is Associate Professor of Psychology at Victoria University of Wellington and Deputy Director of its Centre for Applied Cultural Research.

You are warmly invited to the launch of this latest IPS publication to be held on Wednesday 3 October at 4.30 pm on the mezzanine foyer, Rutherford House, 23 Lamton Quay

Guest Speaker for the event is His Excellency the Governor-General of New Zealand, The Honourable Anand Satyanand, PCNZM.

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
