A survey of 500 Defendants about Restorative Justice: Their Awareness of and Interest in participating in Restorative Justice
Abstract
This 2018 study examines defendant awareness about restorative justice and defendant interest in participating in restorative conversations with victims of their crimes. Using a non probability convenience sample of individuals sentenced to prison and individuals serving probation, 500 individuals who identified as defendants in criminal cases were asked to complete a 4 question survey about their awareness of Restorative Justice (RJ) and their personal interest in participating in RJ if it was available in their criminal case. The results of the survey are shared publicly in the hopes it will inspire further study by researchers within both academic and prison institutions. Our hope is that this survey will bring increased attention to the needs of victims and the accountability that restorative justice and the Florida criminal justice system can invite, support, and offer to offenders as a means to repair and prevent reoccurring harm. This study was funded by the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding (RPCP) and conducted in 2018 and authored by Gretchen Casey, RPCP Director of Restorative Justice Outreach and Training.

In this Roundtable from the National Association for Community and Restorative Justice's 7th Conference, held in Denver, CO, June 14-16, 2019, host Molly Rowan Leach sat down with the people behind the exponential expansion of restorative justice cross-sector in our nation's capital. We talk restorative justice in schools, and how the Prosecutor's office in DC realized how effective RJ is, and has grown its program which started in 2016 to include a wide range of cases. We also talk resistances, doubts in implementation, and how Restorative DC, a cross-profession hub for restorative justice took root almost a decade ago and has spurred powerful collaborations and systems work, expanding rapidly within human systems from schools to federal courts and beyond.

Edgar Villanueva's Decolonizing Wealth is creating a global buzz around the framing question, "What if money could heal us?"
In this powerful hour interview, Edgar unpacks the virus of colonization and its impact on philanthropy--who makes the rules, the choices to fund or not to fund, and more. His steps for healing our philanthropy include a proper recognition of the problems, which are critical, and a turning back to what might be termed Indigenous perspectives and practices around giving--seeing our work and lives as interconnected and providing equal voices to communities most in need and impacted by sub par funding and services. We talk about the importance of the Native peoples view of life as "7 back, 7 forward"--meaning, living and giving in a way that recalls our ancestors and thinks about the world our children and their children will inherit.This is a rich discussion which reveals viable steps and solutions to local and global philanthropy.
