CTV Montreal recently profiled the restorative justice work underway at Montreal’s Centre de Services de Justice Réparatrice (CSJR). This link connects to both the CTV video piece, as well as a video produced by CSJR about victim-offender encounters called Victim-Offender Encounters…A Step Toward Freedom. The CSJR video can also be viewed directly at their website www.csjr.org.
For a more far-flung example of the positive impacts of victim-offender encounters, New Staffordshire’s 180° program provides a British example of restorative justice helping meet the needs of victims.
