Annual Restorative Justice Gathering
Whose Lives Matter? Restoring Communities Harmed by Violence & Race Discrimination
November 12, 2011
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
