Lutheran Social Services Restorative Justice
Lutheran Social Services Restorative Justice creates safer communities statewide by bringing people together with trained facilitators in structured processes to resolve, reduce and prevent conflict. The program focuses on repairing the harm caused by crime, rather than just the legal violation of laws and rules.
Lutheran Social Services Restorative Justice encourages accountability, works to repair harm done to the victim and promotes safe and secure communities.
