Restorative Justice
Restorative Justice has roots in the criminal justice arena. Restorative Justice is an approach that repairs harms done by crime. It is best accomplished through processes creating space for the direct voice of all impacted by crime. It allows all stakeholders impacted by crime to work collaboratively to address harms and create accountability and make amends for those harms. These processes lead to transformation of people, relationships and communities. Many Restorative Justice practices have emerged where these principles are applied in contexts outside the criminal justice system. The concepts, values and practices, and philosophy of restorative justice used in other contexts create and catalyze the same powerful realization of transformation.
Learn the basics of Restorative Justice. This course introduces the principles, components, programs, and processes. Participants explore how Restorative Justice is different from traditional models of addressing crime, harm, or conflict.
