Restorative Justice: An Emphasis on Healing Rather Than Retribution.  Democratic Perspective’s Steve Williamson and Mike Cosentino are joined by Elizabeth Yancey, mediator and former Presiding Magistrate of the Municipal Court of Sedona, Arizona, and Warren Sanford, Magistrate Pro-Tempore of the Municipal Court of Flagstaff, Arizona, for a discussion of restorative justice and its application by Arizona courts. The idea that justice should not consist solely of punishment and retribution is an idea that goes back centuries, but the Restorative Justice Movement in the U.S., and its impact on the American legal system, is relatively new. Find out what restorative justice is, how it works, and where it’s been most successful.
