“Restorative justice is a process to involve, to the extent possible, those who have a stake in an offense and to collectively identify and address harms, needs and obligations, in order to heal and put things right as possible.”- Howard Zehr, PhD.
Restorative justice can take place in many kinds of cases as long as there are willing participants and a safe environment. Boulder County Sheriff’s Office Restorative Justice program receives referrals from law enforcement for adults and youth who are facing criminal charges for both felonies and misdemeanors such as: shoplifting, harassment, theft, criminal trespass, criminal mischief, possession, and disorderly conduct.
