Summary

"The words Restorative Justice hold little meaning for most Americans. To the residents of Barron County in Northern Wisconsin--men, women, and children whose live have been touched by restorative programs--the meaning is life-changing. The words Restorative Justice are synonymous with empowerment and healing for victims of crime. They represent a commitment to the citizens of Barron County that offenders will be held accountable. They offer offenders a change to make things right in the lives of their victims. Barron County Restorative Justice Programs (BCRJP), a program of Goodwill NCW, is one of the nations most comprehensive rural Restorative Justice Programs. Its services include Restorative Conference (formerly Victim Offender Conference), Victim Impact Panels, School Community Outreach, Prime for Life, Safe Serve, Cognitive Behavioral Intervention, Teen Traffic Violation, and Catch My breath."--, Introduction, page i
