the National Center for Restorative Justice

The National Center for Restorative Justice (NCRJ) is an organization dedicated to promoting restorative justice practices. It focuses on repairing harm caused by crime through dialogue and understanding among victims, offenders, and communities. NCRJ provides training, resources, and research to help implement restorative approaches that emphasize accountability, healing, and reintegration, rather than solely punishment. Its goal is to create more effective justice systems that foster reconciliation and reduce repeat offenses, ultimately contributing to healthier, more connected communities.
