    Abstract

    This chapter presents an overview of restorative justice and therapeutic jurisprudence processes and considers how these alternative routs to sentencing and punishment respond to offenders with vulnerabilities. The chapter also makes some observations about the need for language competence among offenders who participate in these processes and the evidence about deficits in this regard.
