Restorative justice is a reconciliation method that seeks mediation between offenders and victims when a crime has been committed. The overall goal of restorative justice is to allow all parties–including the community as a whole–to heal from crime. State Senator Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee) joins us to talk about why she’d like to see restorative justice implemented more broadly in Wisconsin. And Jonathan Scherrer, Director of the Restorative Justice Project at the University of Wisconsin Law School’s Frank J. Remington Center, gives us a broad look at the method.
