King, Sue. Social Work and Restorative Justice.

In this paper I will explore briefly the forces that are leading to interest in Restorative Justice in a number of countries where the adversarial justice system has been the norm. I will consider the contribution that Restorative Justice could make to developing community capacity and explore questions arising from the conceptualisation of communities by restorative justice theoreticians. Finally I will touch on the implications for social work of a restorative justice model.
