Americans can\u2019t seem to agree on how to handle crime. On the Right, we have the tough-on-crime, lock-\u2019em-up mentality that prioritizes punishment and low tolerance for antisocial behavior. On the Left, we hear talk about compassion and rehabilitation, while thieves and vandals are allowed to loot and pillage our cities without consequences. Restorative justice constitutes a different way of thinking about criminal justice altogether, recognizing that the traditional prison model has failed to prevent recidivism, while the zero-accountability strategy implemented by cities like San Francisco has been a disaster for public safety. Matt Kibbe sits down with restorative justice professionals Kathleen McGoey and Lindsey Pointer to discuss their work in the field, as well as their new book, \u201cThe Little Book of Restorative Teaching Tools for Online Learning<\/a>,\u201d which gives practical instructions on how to implement restorative practices in your own community.<\/p>\n
