<p>Restorative justice, as it exists in Canada and the U.S., has been co-opted and relegated to the sidelines of the dominant criminal justice system. In <em>Security, With Care</em>, Elizabeth M. Elliott argues that restorative justice cannot be actualized solely within the criminal justice system. If it isn&rsquo;t who we are, says Elliott, then the policies will never be sustainable. Restorative justice must be more than a program within the current system &ndash; it must be a new paradigm for responding to harm and conflict. Facilitating this shift requires a rethinking of the assumptions around punishment and justice, placing emphasis instead on values and relationships. But if we can achieve this change, we have the potential to build a healthier, more ethical and more democratic society.</p>
