Greens have launched Restorative Justice video

The Greens are broadening the 'law and order' debate with the online release of their video Restorative Justice Works. The video is now available online at the links below.

The ten-minute video features Nandor Tanczos MP, the Green Party's Justice Spokesperson, interviewing Rosalie Steward, a professional justice facilitator and the co-ordinator of Hauraki's Restorative Justice Services, part of a nationwide network of restorative justice groups. Rosalie explains how restorative justice places victims at the centre of efforts to repair the damage done by offenders.

Restorative Justice Works is available in various formats at http://www.greens.org.nz/campaigns/justice.

A transcript of the video is available at http://www.greens.org.nz/searchdocs/other7635.html.
