Seeking Justice is a 446-page publication with 90 colour photographs that draws on 40 years direct work experience in the criminal justice system in Australia and maps a different way forward, based on restorative justice and justice reinvested principles.
The below photo contains several reviews from prominent criminologists and legal experts across the country. The publication draws on a broad range of professional experiences across a wide range of the Australian criminal justice system and suggests a pathway of reform for the future decades.
The publication is a limited print edition, but there are still copies available directly from Norden Directions (www.nordendirections.com.au)
