About the Restorative Justice Institutes
From 2021-2023, the National Center on Restorative Justice hosted two Restorative Justice Institutes each year. The institutes aimed at learning from experts in a specific area about how restorative justice is being used successfully and how existing models can be replicated and made available nationally.
These institutes were designed to educate juvenile and criminal justice practitioners in restorative justice principles, current research, and applications. The institutes were built on specific tracks geared to justice professionals, such as law enforcement, correctional officers, social service providers, educators, clinicians, judges, prosecutors, defenders, and more.
Restorative Reintegration Institute
The 2022 National Center on Restorative Justice institute series was focused on restorative reintegration, a restorative justice approach to reentry after incarceration.
Restorative Approaches to Policing Institute
In February 2021, the National Center on Restorative Justice held our inaugural institute on the topic of restorative approaches to policing.
