Introduction

Origins of restorative justice

Restorative Justice philosophy and practices can be found in the traditional cultures of many indigenous peoples of Africa, the Americas, and South Pacific, both past and present.

Criminal Justice System

Restorative Justice has grown nationally and internationally since its first documented use in western criminal justice systems in the 1970s, particularly in the juvenile justice context

Restorative Justice in Education
