"restorative justice is a way to build the experience of community which we want for our children and future generations. Building such a community creates a healthy environment that promotes a justice grounded in accountability and healing. Restorative justice requires cultivating a restorative community for the sake of its members.”
- Barb Toews

During unprecedented times, in danger of  COVID-19, we hope you are well and able to care for those entrusted to your care. 
Through a restorative justice lens, we may have an opportunity to look at Shelter in Place from a different perspective, one that is allowing us to be home with our families and loved ones. From a public health perspective staying home is the most loving and scientifically helpful act we can each make, if it is safe for us to do so. Shelter in Place is definitely an opportunity to have closer interactions with the ones we care about.  Restorative Justice Partners, Inc. provides support and education with those affected by conflict. We remain so grateful for the emergency response and basic needs providers keeping us informed and permitting our communities to focus inwards. Thank you for your continued dedication to justice that heals, take good care and be safe. 

about restorative justice partners, INC.

RJP, Inc. brings the victims, offenders, families, and other key stakeholders together in a restorative justice process to help offenders understand the implications of their actions and provide the victim a voice in the restitution.
In a restorative justice process, the person who has done harm takes responsibility for his/her actions and the person who has been harmed can take a central role in the process. Restorative processes, which foster dialogue between the offender and the victim, show the highest rates of victim satisfaction, true accountability by the offender,
and reduced recidivism.

the experience

“Restorative justice is a process to involve, to the extent possible, those who have a stake in a specific  offense – victim, offender and the community – and to collectively identify and address harms, needs and obligations, in order to heal and put things as right as possible.” Howard Zehr

the results

“I chose to meet with the 16-year-old who burglarized my home. The meeting gave this young man the chance to rejoin the community as a productive member rather than become an outcast. He’s now on track to complete his high school education.”

the effects

“I never knew how stealing could affect people’s lives and how it affects our community in so many different ways.”

DIgital BROCHURE 

Services

Restorative Justice Partners provides a structured environment, where victims describe how they were affected, offenders take responsibility for their actions, and both are involved in developing a restitution plan agreement.  Founded in 1987, RJP, Inc.'s mission is to provide support and education to those affected by conflict, and to encourage accountability, reparation and empathy.
VORP
VICTIM OFFENDER RECONCILIATION PROCESS

Supported and funded by the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act, VORP is a restorative process that provides victims with the opportunity to meet the first-time juvenile offender in a safe and structured setting. VORP’s goal is to hold the offender directly accountable for his/her behavior and to give the victim the opportunity of asking “why me?”  VORP also aspires to “make things as right as possible” with the offender, the victim, and the community.

MAP
MERCHANT ACCOUNTABILITY PANEL

MAP is an innovative application of the VORP process which focuses directly on the pervasive crime of juvenile shoplifting. It was created by VORP in collaboration with the Monterey County Probation Department’s Restorative Justice Coordinator. Youth shop lifters are held accountable in a highly successful mediation process that brings a group of 4-6 youths to face the Merchant Representatives in a restorative, non-threatening venue.
