83.

Greene's aim is to show that it is through an emphasis on the term 'community' and all that it implies that restorative justice and community justice approaches have remained, at least in context, separate, and and the same time may benefit from the merging of their commonalities in relation to this concept through reintegration strategies such as Circles of Support and Accountability (introduction).
