This book addresses three main questions: What is the practical case for greater community involvement in criminal justice? What is the philosophical basis for community-oriented criminal justice? What might a community-oriented justice practice look like?

Activists, scholars, criminal-justice officials, and politicians have begun to call for a re-examination of "get-tough" crime policies. A more sensible approach to crime, they argue, would focus on "community justice" - that is, on building healthy communities in which criminality cannot take root.
