"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 |

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.” Adult male victim |
the effects
“I never knew how stealing could affect people’s lives and how it affects our community in so many different ways.” 15-year-old Merchant Accountability Panel participant |
