RT Article T1 Restorative justice informed criminal justice social work and probation services JF Probation journal VO 66 IS 4 SP 398 OP 415 A1 Kirkwood, Steve A2 Hamad, Rania LA English YR 2019 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1735499889 AB Despite the growth of restorative justice (RJ) research, theory and practice, little work has explored its implications for criminal justice social work (CJSW) and probation services. Our analysis demonstrates that an RJ ‘lens’ transforms the view of CJSW, enlarging the scope to help people make amends for harm, magnifying the role for victims of crime, refocusing on the meaningfulness of reparative acts and clarifying the role of communities in reintegration. Our vision of RJ informed CJSW and probation services offers a way of shifting practice to help people repair harm, make good and move on with their lives.
