"Balanced and Restorative Justice is not a new set of programs or short–term projects. It is a new way of thinking about crime, community, and working together for the future. Balanced and Restorative Justice requires vision, creativity, and shared leadership on the part of the justice system, victims, offenders and the community."
- Susan Sharpe, Author, Restorative Justice: a Vision for Healing and Change
