Restorative Justice Makes a Difference.

In Taos County our Restorative Justice Youth Initiative, a program of the Taos County Juvenile Justice Board, also has between  5-8% recidivism...so we are doing great! and there are "ripple effects" - improved family relations, better understanding of consequences and social norms, realization of harm done, understanding of how to repair harm, and having had the experience of listening and being listened to!
