Will the Circle be Unbroken? explores and confronts the potential and pitfalls of restorative justice. Drawing on their shared experiences working with Aboriginal communities, Jane Dickson-Gilmore and Carol LaPrairie examine the outcomes of restorative justice projects, especially programs such as conferencing, sentencing circles, and healing circles. They also look to Aboriginal justice reforms in other countries. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the critical issues in Aboriginal and restorative justice, placing these in the context of community. It examines the essential role of community in furthering both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal aspirations for restorative justice.
