The call of restorative justice

Descripción

Part 1 - Dr. Howard Zehr in his speech here emphasizes a vision of restorative justice as a sustainable art of commitment and balance. He outlines achievements and challenges of restorative justice over the years, noting especially that mass incarceration, obvious racial disparities in court and prison systems and bureaucratization of restorative justice programs and groups will likely be in the forefront of coming concerns. Social change, he suggests, however, will come from providing an alternative vision of a more caring and safe society as exhibited by creativity and artistry of compassionate people such as Liz Elliot. Part 2 - Dr. Howard Zehr is joined by Brenda Morrison, David L. Gustafson, Barry Stuart for more engaging dialogue with the audience around mass incarceration and prison oversight.
