Restorative Justice: Less Judgement, More Understanding
Mission
Restorative Justice (RJ) Westchester is a countywide, multi-sector network of practitioners, advocates and community members seeking to increase support for, and access to, restorative justice approaches for all Westchester residents, especially our youth.
Vision
Our vision is that restorative justice is widely used as an effective, evidence-based alternative to retributive criminal justice policies and punitive discipline to reduce violence and empower our communities to collaborate for the dignity and safety of everyone.
When embraced broadly, restorative justice builds empathy, restores dignity, enables accountability and healing, and strengthens communities as we create a just society in which all lives have equal value.
