COLORADO CONNECTION!

Teaching Peace introduces restorative justice with the story of how Longmont, Colorado embraced this ancient practice and used it to transform their approach to justice. Author Dr. Beverly Title founded what became became Longmont Community Justice Partners, now Brite Collaborative, and her 5Rs framework has been influential in Restorative Justice across the country.

The Little Book of Restorative Justice

In this foundational book The Little Book of Restorative Justice, Dr. Howard Zehr explores how restorative justice is different from retributive justice – the model underlying much of our current criminal legal system – and clearly lays out key Restorative Justice practices. An easy and important reference for anyone interested in Restorative Justice fundamentals.

The field of restorative justice flows from many different ancient indigenous paths, be it the Maori in New Zealand or Navajo Peacemaking. We gain so much from these indigenous wisdoms about what justice looks like. They don’t bifurcate out justice as a different thing. Everything is addressed from the perspective of how are we in right relation with the earth and with each other.

Crime is a violation of people and relationships. It creates obligations to make things right. Justice involves the victim, the offender and the community in a search for solutions which promote repair, reconciliation and reassurance.

Where there is hurt, there must be healing.
