Great Britain: Inter-Varsity Press. Paperback. Slight crease to corner front cover. 'Sixteen infant schoolkids and their teacher were murdered by a crazed gunman at gym class yesterday' (Dumblane, Scotland). 'James Bulger's battered body was found on a railway line two days after he was lured from a shopping centre' (Merseyside, England). The front pages read like a macabre nightmare. These crimes show a sickening disregard for human life and dignity, the very essence of which makes up civilised society. And when prisoners stage rooftop protests from overcrowded prisons, when the figures for crime refuses to come down fo any amount of investment into policing, we know there must be something very wrong with our criminal justice system. The answer is not, writes the author, more police, more prisons or tougher sentencing. It lies in how we answer four foundational questions: 'Who are we'?, 'What is justice'?, 'Can we be redeemed'? and 'How can we restore Shalom to crime-ravaged communities'? Colson contends that no worldview other than the biblical one can sustain a rational, liveable and just society, and that by returning to it we can retrieve a system of justice which restores peace and order to individuals and to society. Charles Colson is a leading US authority on causes and responses to crime. In 1975, on his release from prison on Watergate-related offences, Colson launched Prison Fellowship, which now serves the spiritual and practical needs of prisoners in eighty-three countries. Through the world of Justice Fellowship, founded in 1983, Colson works with legislators and policy-makers to promote principles of restorative justice. 150 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
