COMMUNITY & RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

IN THE NEWS

Now more than ever, community and restorative justice is in mainstream news on local, national, and global levels. Often, the headlines celebrate and praise the work of practitioners, researchers and individuals who are making an impact. Other times the headlines critique and challenge. In the spirit of comprehensive learning, we will share both-the praise and the critiques-and provide context for as many articles as possible.
