Repairing the Harm: Restorative Justice features the
Honorable Janine Geske, a former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, and a
national leader in the Restorative Justice process. The Restorative Justice
process allows both criminals and their victims to express their feelings with
one another. Victims are given the chance to get answers and criminals are
given the chance to repent. For both parties, it is a chance to start the
healing process.
Repairing the Harm: Restorative Justice
is designed to deter teens from committing crimes by showing them the pain and
torment victims suffer. Teens will realize that a crime creates a ripple
effect on the family, friends and community of the victim. The restorative
justice process is often the only way a victim can explain to their offender
how their actions have caused pain and suffering. Criminals view restorative
justice as a chance to right their wrongs by giving back to their victims and
the community.
