New Thinking, from the Center for Justice Innovation
Restorative Justice is Racial Justice
Restorative justice is about repairing harm. But for Black Americans, what is there to be restored to? This episode features a roundtable with eight members of the Center for Court Innovation’s Restorative Justice in Schools team. They spent three years embedded in five Brooklyn high schools—all five schools are overwhelmingly Black, and all five had some of the highest suspension rates in New York City.
The episode features music from Zanny London, a student at one of the high schools in the program. Find more of his work on SoundCloud and Instagram.
