Description
Summary:Part of a special issue on social justice for workers in the global economy. The writers explore the operation of restorative justice in New Zealand's indigenous Maori community, where the new social movement for reconciliatory principles of justice has progressed the furthest. They outline the history of Maori restorative tradition, examine the new Youth Court model of justice that was established in 1998, and present a case study of Maori community group conferencing in action. Furthermore, they discuss the prospect of applying restorative justice principles to poor, victimized urban communities in the U.S.
