A restorative justice practitioner in British Columbia, Celine Lee has experienced the criminal justice system in a number of ways: victim; victim support worker; victim-offender mediation participant; and criminal justice worker. In all these experiences, she claims she has grown all the more convinced of the power of dialogue. Lee recounts in brief her own journey from being a co-victim after the murders of her mother and sister, including ways in which a victim-offender mediation process helped her deal with the crimes.
