Website of the Month: Nova Scotia Restorative Justice Community University Research Alliance
The Nova Scotia Restorative Justice - Community University Research Alliance (NSRJ-CURA) seeks to provide comprehensive research on the issues and problems that arise with the institutionalization of restorative justice practice. It draws heavily on experiences with the Nova Scotia Restorative Justice Program, a community and government partnership offering a comprehensive restorative justice response to juvenile offenders. The NSRJ-CURA website offers information on the alliance, resources, and basic information about restorative justice.
