Purpose and Objective of Restorative Justice in Schools
Restorative Justice works towards prevention of conflicts and harm while bridging the work of culture building and relationship building for school cultures of communication, where needs are defined and community is built on relationships, where stronger school communities are transformed by changing the paradigms of discipline and the idea that a school is a community.
