Figures & data
Figure 1. Prototypical restorative justice circle. This figure illustrates who is present and the primary task of dialoguing. The initiator (also referred to as victim) is the individual, in this case a student, who has asked for a circle to occur. The respondent (also referred to as the offender) is the individual, in this case a student, who has primary responsibility for harming the initiator.
Figure 2. Restorative justice ecological framework. This figure illustrates the three guiding principles of RJ as a framework with which to view the ecology of the school and community (only a few ecologies are depicted for clarity).
