Exploring Restorative Justice

Victims of crime often find forgiveness too raw to reach; the sense of injustice outweighing the act of turning one’s cheek. For the perpetrator, the sense of injustice is equally strong; living in a world beyond one’s control, where societal standards hold no applicable meaning.

Today's panelists, Sister Kathleen Eggering, SSND, and Sister Janet Ryan, OSF, discuss our topic of restorative justice and how we seek to balance the judicial scales with an organized approach and open dialogue between the victim and the criminal in achieving resolution between the two and creating harmony within the community.
