Restorative justice (RJ) and restorative approaches (RAs) are becoming increasingly valued as a way of responding to a wide range of conflicts, including problem and offending behaviours. The growth in the use of RJ and RAs has been described as a 'global social movement' that sets out to repair harm, reduce conflict and harmonise civil society. This report takes a close look at the implementation of an RJ approach in the challenging environment of children's residential care homes. It will appeal to people who are interested in the use of RJ, particularly its use with children and young people, as well as those interested in problem and offending behaviours in relation to children in care.

Reviews for Implementing Restorative Justice in Children's Residential Care
"Carol Hayden is one of the leading figures in the area of youth exclusion and restorative justice. She writes clearly and knowledgeably about the ways in which those working in the residential sector can make a real difference to children's lives through restorative justice. It will become a key text in the field." Dr Hilary Cremin, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge "The over-representation of young people from residential care backgrounds in the criminal justice system is an issue of growing concern and understanding what justice means for children in residential care is very important. This book is a timely and intelligent contribution to this complex policy and practice problem." Will McMahon, Chair, Care Leavers' Association and Policy Director, Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, Kings College, London.
