1. Chapter 3: Restorative Justice
Conflict Resolution for the Helping Professions
By Dr. Allan Barsky

2. Question for Society: Commits a violent act?
How should we respond when someone:
Commits a violent act?
Destroys property?
Puts someone at risk?
Breaches community rules or social norms?
Or is involved in other problematic behavior? Who deems it to be a problem? Why focus only on the criminal or trouble maker?
