The Restorative Justice Project at Impact Justice partners with communities across the nation to address harm through dialogue among those most impacted. It works to shift the paradigm from seeing crime as a violation of the law to understanding crime as harm that requires individual, interpersonal, community, and system-wide accountability and healing. This toolkit was primarily created for community-based organizations (CBOs) interested in starting a restorative justice diversion program for youth in their county. While the toolkit is most applicable to the US, the core ideas and resources could be useful for people looking for alternatives to incarceration in other countries.
We showcase existing solutions and new research from the community. Support us by sharing your own resources to our hub.
