The Little Book of Restorative Justice / Howard Zehr / 2002

I read this book in preparation for a job interview (Pray for me yall). I was impressed by its ability to open a can of worms, let you get a good glimpse inside, close it, then move onto the next can of worms. This is no easy task for issues as fraught as justice and for a practice as varied, situational, and complex as restorative justice. Though published over 20 years ago, it hardly feels outdated in the United States, especially since so much of the United States has yet to adopt restorative justice in a serious way. I highly recommend it for folks looking to see if they are interested in a deeper dive. 5/5
