This book provides insights into the history, development, and
practice of restorative justice methods in China. Traditionally
in China, mediation has played an important role in criminal
proceedings, which has many characteristics in common with the
“Western” concept of restorative justice. Through case studies
and theoretical examination, the author of this timely work aims
to bridge the research on restorative justice models mainly
developed in the West with restorative justice as practiced in
China.

After a Brief overview and introduction, the author compares and
contrasts case studies of restorative justice-like practices from
different districts in China. The author examines cases
studies from several regions within China, and explores the key
question: can the restoration model developed in the West take
root in China, and if so what legal, cultural and societal
accommodations may need to be made?
