Restorative justice has been used in those countries whose delivery of justice is primarily adversarial and the concepts of restorative justice have not generally been included in sentencing. This workshop is designed to provide an understanding that providing safety is the primary consideration, offenders need be held accountable for their behavior and victims and communities harmed by crime are restored. The second part of the workshop is to provide examples how restorative justice actually works. Learning Objectives: 1. Develop an understanding of an alternative to traditional adversarial justice. 2. Understand basic principles and values for restorative justice. 3.Review and analyze facilitated dialogue and the circle process.
