#restorative-design

Restorative justice is a social science practice that focuses less on punitive punishment and more on communal healing. So it is asking questions about who's been harmed, what their needs are, whose responsibility it is to meet those needs, and how can relationships and trust be built and repaired in order to move forward. It also believes that punitive measures actually perpetuate harm rather than resolve the issue at hand.
