Wayne Northey

Restorative Justice was a term and concept largely unused before the mid-1970s. Wayne Northey happened to be in on the ground floor of facilitating its worldwide adoption as a challenge to Western retributive justice systems, ultimately to violent responses to conflict domestically and internationally. The most replicated early model of Restorative Justice, based on the well-known "Elmira Case, " was a Canadian first, initially dubbed Victim Offender Reconciliation Project (VORP). The author became its second director in 1977. The term "mediation" later displaced the more religious word, "reconciliation, " as the model spread outside Christian moorings; and "program" displaced the initially more tentative "project."

At seminary, Northey had learned to think through one's vocation theologically. He began in that vein, writing and publishing on this profound call for a systemic "paradigm shift, " and has been at it ever since. This publication is volume 1 of a series of his collected writings, of which two additional volumes may be found online. Two or three further volumes are projected.

Justice That Transforms, Volume One

My good friend and scholar, Ron Dart, proposed that I pull together my Restorative Justice writings for publication in a book series. I began acting on the idea in 2018. The writings, with many published helter skelter, span from 1977 forward. 



In particular throughout most of the 1990s through work in Restorative Justice for Mennonite Central Committee Canada, I occupied a high perch from which to observe the increasing Canadian and worldwide awareness of this emerging phenomenon.



This first volume reflects that grand-scale vantage point. Notice of additional volumes may be found online, including on the author's website: waynenorthey.com.
