Annual December Event
CIRCLES OF HEALING: WHAT IS RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AND WHY DO WE NEED IT NOW?
Restorative justice is fundamentally different from retributive justice. It is justice that puts energy into the future, not into what is past. It focuses on what needs to be healed, what needs to be repaid, what needs to be learned in the wake of crime. It looks at what needs to be strengthened if such things are not to happen again.
- Susan Sharpe, Restorative Justice: A Vision for Healing and Change, 1998
In the CRJP’s sixth annual gathering, we will:
- hear from families how restorative justice has influenced their lives after the violent death of their loved one
- examine the principles of restorative justice
- experience restorative justice practices as they apply to our daily lives
