3 big components
of RJ: a)
encounter; b)
repair; c)
transformation
there are 3 parts
because stories
need to be heard,
voices need to
come from all parts
of the community
and all parts need
reform
encounter between
victims and
perpetrators;
encounter always
happens in
deference to the
victim
voice can be given
to what the victim
needs
repair so the
perpetrators can
be held
accountable
the perpetrators
can understand
the impact of their
actions
transformation
offenders can have
an opportunity to
shift and the
victims are
validated
the behaviors,
hopefully, don't
continue
