Author’s Acknowledgements<br />
John Harding, one of the pioneers of restorative justice in Britain,<br />
has been extremely helpful. Turi Munthe came to me wanting<br />
television experience and found himself deeply immersed in<br />
restorative justice, helping to assemble the book. Felicity Luard<br />
and Ben Whitaker of the <strong>Gulbenkian</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> gave me this<br />
stimulating commission, and my publishers Richard Johnson and<br />
Andy Fishwick at HarperCollins allowed me to interrupt my work<br />
on a longer critique of the justice system which has this concept as<br />
its conclusion. Guy Masters helpfully read the manuscript for<br />
errors. Marian Liebmann selflessly and generously fleshed out the<br />
text with essential references and useful information while editing<br />
the book extremely skilfully. I am most grateful for her substantial<br />
contribution. The dedication to Martin Wright, author of many<br />
seminal books in this area, only hints at his support in guiding me<br />
through the shoals of this sensitive area.<br />
