   David Cornwell appraises the potential of restorative justice to make 'corrections' more effective, civilised, humane, pragmatic and non-fanciful - by looking at 'bedrock issues' in contemporary criminology and penology and demonstrate that RJ offers no ‘soft options', rather the demands of remorse, acceptance of responsibility, and the repairing of harm done.It makes the case for the radical overhaul of existing approaches on the basis of principle not political expediency.

   In David Cornwell's thoughtful book he pursues in a clear and confident manner the dilemmas surrounding the relevance and appropriateness of punishment in restorative justice.He sets the context for this discussion with a comprehensive review of debates around justifications for punishment, with chapters on retribution, deterrence and rehabilitation.He turns his attention to restorative justice through a discussion of the failure of our formal justice system, with its focus on punishment, to address contemporary priorities around both victim and offender rights and responsibilities.
   ...
   Dr Cornwell writes with both students of criminology and criminal justice practitioners in mind, though the issues he addresses will resonate with a much wider professional audience in law, the social sciences, philosophy and politics.He encourages his readers to challenge the conventional wisdom of the criminal justice system in their thinking about the purpose of punishment and whether restorative justice may be able to resolve some of the dilemmas he has identified.

   An uncompromising appraisal of the unique penal crisis affecting Britain and other Western,style democracies, Escalating resort to prisons, longer sentences, overcrowded and ineffective regimes, high rates of re,offending and eclectic penal policy all combine to fuel this crisis, whilst failing to reduce offending,
   
   In this new book, David J Cornwell, author of the acclaimed Criminal Punishment and Restorative Justice ,ISBN 9781904380207,, argues that the symptoms of this penal malaise are grounded in media sensationalism of crime and the need of politicians and their advisers to retain electoral credibility, Change is long overdue, but it requires a fresh, contemporary penology based on Restorative Justice, The book challenges the status quo, asks 'different questions' and places victims of crime at the centre of the criminal justice process,
