Crime, Shame and Reintegration
By John Braithwaite
$25
Book (paperback), 226 pages
Published by Cambridge University Press
Although written without knowledge of the conferencing process, Australian criminologist John Braithwaite's book Crime, Shame and Reintegration provides a sociological explanation for why conferencing works so well.
Braithwaite explains that the desire to avoid shame aids in the development of conscience and social bonds. He distinguishes between two types of shame: stigmatizing shame which rejects and permanently labels offenders and reintegrative shame which only rejects the offender's deed but not the offender himself.
Conferences encourage positive personal change in offenders because unlike courts, conferences allow offenders to shed their offender label and be reintegrated into the community. |

The Parade: A Story in 55 Drawings
By Si Lewen
$50
Book (hardcover), 50th Anniversary Ed., 120 pages
Published by the IIRP
The Parade is a story
of recurring war as Si Lewen saw
it, watching the parades after World
War I lead into the death marches of
World War II. As such, The Parade is a document of
our time and, through the art of Si
Lewen, a unique artistic document as
well. The Parade, beyond inquiring into
the relationship of events, insists upon
a pulsating continuity between otherwise
unrelated and singular pictures.
As The Parade moves relentlessly on, it
is forced into a new dimension by the
growing and ebbing intensity of each
picture cycle, and assumes a form
closely related to that of the movie. |

REAL JUSTICE
By Ted Wachtel
$20
Book (paperback), 208 pages
Published by The Piper's Press
The founder of the Real Justice movement uses actual conference stories to show how conferencing works and how it can change the way our society responds to wrongdoing in schools, criminal justice, the workplace and elsewhere. He demonstrates how conferencing benefits victims, offenders and the community by actively involving those affected by wrongdoing in the process of repairing the harm and by fostering the closure and the emotional healing which is largely denied in our current systems. |

Shame and Pride: Affect, Sex, and the Birth of the Self
By Donald L. Nathanson
$20
Book (paperback), 496 pages
Published by W.W. Norton & Company
Donald Nathanson' book provides the psychological explanation for why conferencing works. A Philadelphia psychiatrist, author and lecturer, he wrote Shame and Pride before he was aware of conferencing, explaining and building upon the affect and script theories of the late Silvan S. Tomkins.
Nathanson has become an advocate of conferencing. When a crime is committed, Nathanson said in an interview, everyone involved experiences very extreme negative affect, but the court process fails to address this. Conferences, on the other hand, allow for the free expression of affect, which helps people move beyond the negative to the positive and deal with the adverse emotional consequences of the crime. |

Four School Conferences:
A Composite View
$30
DVD-Video, 49 minutes
Produced by Real Justice
Four actual Real Justice conferences were videotaped, with the permission of participants, at alternative schools operated by the Community Service Foundation and Buxmont Academy, sister nonprofit organizations serving troubled youth in eastern Pennsylvania. Footage from the conferences, which were held for offenses ranging from truancy and leaving school grounds to drug possession and bringing a knife onto a school bus, provide viewers with a realistic view of conferencing. Some conferences are highly emotional; others are not. Some conferences produce satisfying outcomes; others are less successful. But follow-up interviews with conference participants show that even a so-called “unsuccessful” conference can produce meaningful outcomes. |
