This is an on-line resource designed to promote the understanding of restorative justice. The material presented on this site is the product of five regional symposia held on restorative justice between June 1997 and January 1998. This site is intended for all those interested in better understanding the principles and practices of restorative justice and especially for those practitioners who hope to implement restorative justice in their communities.

Those of you who are new to the concept of restorative justice should take the opportunity to read an interview with former National Institute of Justice Visiting Fellow, Thomas Quinn. This interview gives an overview of the concept of restorative justice.
