Edited By: Sandra Pavelka, PhD., Anne Seymour, & Barry Stuart

32.00USD

This book is a tribute to the late Dennis “Denny” Michael Maloney. Under Dennis’ leadership, Deschutes County’s (Bend, OR), Juvenile Justice System became a national model for community justice. As Dr. Pavelka notes, “[t]he county’s success at charting the course of national trends serves as an inspiration for other local communities…” (p. 37).

Throughout all eleven chapters, the reader is introduced to current justice reforms, the thinking which underlies some of those reforms, and to whom Dennis Maloney, the charismatic and tenacious impetus behind many of these reforms, was.

  • Dennis was most-of-all known as someone who could pull people together around a cause. His cause was to create and design alternatives to incarceration for both youth and adults. He saw the big picture that had little to do with law-breaking and programs theoretically designed to “help” people. Dennis had the knack for designing interventions strategies with offenders that challenged them to be better citizens, and often reconnected them to their communities. He saw what was good in each person and demonstrated that some of the toughest offenders could indeed become helpers and mentors to others. The Legacy of Community Justice is not simply a book, it is a vehicle through which to both get to know who Dennis was and to see his remarkable and lasting influence in action.

    The articles and stories collected in e Legacy of Community Justice, and their esteemed authors, can be seen as spokes on a wheel with Dennis Maloney at its hub. Dennis pulled together a wide range of research and human experience. He connected many of us who still practice in the field of community justice. His strength helps to bind these ideas, and us, together, as we roll along now after his passing, into the future.

    Reading this book provoked me into thinking hard about how it is possible to change our basic public policies and institutions. How does one transform our existing pattern of viewing and handling criminal wrongdoing into something more in tune with our needs and values? The book points to three broad conditions of change. First, there must be some widespread sense that the existing way of thinking and acting is unsustainable. Second, there has to be an image of an alternative which is at the same time visionary and realistic. Third, motivational leaders are required: people who can persuade others at all levels – from politicians in the highest places to ordinary citizens concerned for their communities – to work fervently towards the alternative. The Legacy of Community Justice both celebrates and takes forward the work of such a leader: Dennis Maloney.

    There are really two subjects of this collection of articles. One is community justice, which continues to exert influence in the juvenile and criminal justice fields. The second and more important one is Dennis (Denny) Maloney who was an influential, charismatic, larger-than-life leader in the restorative and community justice movement until his untimely death in 2007. What emerges from this collection is the picture of a remarkable man. It is a tribute to the legacy of Dennis Maloney.

    The Legacy of Community Justice is a tribute to Dennis Maloney but, fittingly, it is much more. It is a book to inspire and guide those of us who are interested in healing our own communities.
