Abstract:
This study examines harm and repair as the central ideas of restorative justice. Through observations of one program in Vermont, the author identifies how participants in a restorative justice initiative attempt to repair harm, how they define harm caused by criminal offenses, how they negotiate agreements with offenders to repair harm, and what difficulties they face in fulfilling the main tenet of restorative justice.Keywords: restorative justice; best practices
