According to the National Center on Restorative Justice, restorative justice is defined as “both a set of practices and a broad philosophy with applicability across contexts. Restorative justice has several core philosophical features, including a focus on identifying needs and repairing harm, active accountability, centering relationships and community, and voluntary participation. Contemporary restorative justice practice and philosophy have roots and resonances with various Indigenous, religious, and other cultural traditions from around the world.”
The organizer of the institute, the WV Restorative Justice Project, is a newly formed 501©3 in West Virginia, whose mission is to promote a culture of restorative justice by offering restorative justice learning and networking opportunities throughout the state.
