Equity PLC Libguides: Restorative Justice

Definition:

Restorative justice is a process where all stakeholders affected by an injustice have an opportunity to discuss how they have been affected by the injustice and to decide what should be done to repair the harm. With crime, restorative justice is about the idea that because crime hurts, justice should heal. It follows that conversations with those who have been hurt and with those who have inflicted the harm must be central to the process. -John Braithwaite

Potential Research/Design Questions

• How might we implement restorative justice practices that are student-centered?
• How might all constituents (families, colleagues, students) support an approach of restorative justice?
