Written by experts with first-hand experience, Mothering Justice is the first whole book to take motherhood as a focus for criminal and social justice interventions. Covering the spectrum of interventions it also makes a powerful case that in particular the imprisonment of mothers and its effect on their children is unnecessary, unjust, devastating and wasteful. 'To afford justice to these women, we must "do" justice to motherhood.'

Criminal Justice Social Work: A South African Practice Framework is a text for those working with criminal offenders and victims of crime. It offers readers a grounding in theory, research, practice and clinical expertise for practising effectively in the field of criminal justice. Readers are exposed to a wide range of methods, techniques and interventions situated in a uniquely South African practice framework for addressing criminal justice issues and challenges.

Despite the growth of restorative justice (RJ) research, theory and practice, little work has explored its implications for criminal justice social work (CJSW) and probation services. Our analysis demonstrates that an RJ 'lens' transforms the view of CJSW, enlarging the scope to help people make amends for harm, magnifying the role for victims of crime, refocusing on the meaningfulness of reparative acts and clarifying the role of communities in reintegration. Our vision of RJ informed CJSW and probation services offers a way of shifting practice to help people repair harm, make good and move on with their lives.
