In Toward a New Vision of Justice, Marc Forget presents a compelling case for change in our justice system. We need to move, he says, from the old visions of punishment and retribution to a new, revolutionary paradigm: restorative justice. Forget sees that the failure of our justice system grow inexorably out of its basic values. A new experience of justice, he finds, “is not the result of a simple new procedure to process crime; it is something we must prepare for every day, be redefining who we are, how we interact in the various communities we’re part of, and how we perceive the world around us.” (publisher’s description).
