Description Of Course:

Based on 60 years of collective work experience in managing restorative justice dialogue programs and helping to start new programs, Dr. Mark Umbreit and Ted Lewis, from the Center for Restorative Justice and Peacemaking (University of Minnesota), combine their wisdom to show how new programs can set a good, long-lasting foundation.

While their insights apply well to all restorative dialogue-based programming, victim offender conferencing will be highlighted throughout the three-session course. Both youth offender and adult offender related programming will apply. After a brief overview of restorative justice, the course will focus on practical knowledge for building a strong foundation for organizational sustainability.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_column_text]Main themes include, stakeholder analysis, communication and negotiation skills to build partnership relationships, open collaboration between government and community stakeholders, establishing a case referral system that has a steady flow, adherence to best-practice facilitation standards that have stood the test of time according to research, building management systems for case development, client communications and evaluations, and working with community volunteers.

At the core of the teaching are anecdotes that reflect the power of transformative, heart-to-heart dialogue between victims, offenders and community members who have been prepared well for safe, constructive conversation to repair the harms caused by a crime.

1. How can community resources work better with government agencies

2. How can RJ dialogue programs meet the need for alternative sentencing in the US

3. How can you start new programming with limited or no funding?

4. Who are the people to start a restorative program?

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_column_text]

5. How do you deal with conceptions of RJ that view it as being soft on crime?

6. How do you work with government stakeholders who are resistant to RJ?

7. What are the best practices in restorative programming that are research-based?

8. How do you track, analyze and sustain once a program has begun and how do you still keep the restorative “essence” or “essentials” alive and intact?
