Schools, communities, and justice systems in the US and internationally are increasingly turning to restorative justice as an alternative to a traditional punitive approach. Restorative justice recognizes the healing and restorative power of community and works to increase understanding of the impact of actions. David Anderson Hooker provides an introduction to restorative justice, including its goals, pillars, principles, and practices. A demonstration of restorative justice¡ªas it applies to a high school with escalated student conflict¡ªshows a community coming together for healing, responsibility, and forgiveness.
