Restorative Practices in Schools

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

Since its first application in Australian schools in the 1990s, Restorative Justice, often referred to as Restorative Practices, has expanded to schools in DC, the US, and the world.
