Source: (2005) Paper presented at ‘Building a Global Alliance for Restorative Practices and Family Empowerment, Part 3’, the IIRP’s Sixth International Conference on Conferencing, Circles and other Restorative Practices, March 3-5, Penrith, New South Wales, Australia. Downloaded 18 March 2005.

I also believe that RJ is a balanced strategy, and that it can be put into practice through various conferencing and mediation techniques. I will not attempt to provide explanations about why I find RJ so powerful now, but you will get the answer after knowing about our recent works more thoroughly. (excerpt)
