Quotation

Excellent commentary on restorative justice written by one who has first hand experience. A voice of reason that adds credence and weight to those who are speaking out against the 'get tough on crime' mentality. The author documents her experiences, not only with the shortcomings of the justice system as it deals with the perpetrators and their victims, but also with those who are neither perpetrator nor victim but the innocent person(s) related to the perpetrator.
