Restorative Justice: Healing the Harm
November 22, 2004
Elmar Weitekamp Katholieke Universiteit, Belgium
Elmar Weitekamp, professor of law from the Department of Criminal Law and Criminology at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, talks about his extensive work in mediation, and in community and problem-oriented policing using a restorative justice approach. Restorative justice is a value-based approach to responding to wrongdoing and conflict, with a balanced focus on the offender, victim, and community. Restorative justice emphasizes transforming wrongdoing by healing the harm, particularly to relationships, that is created by harmful behavior.
This discussion is hosted by The College of Criminal Justice at Northeastern University.
