Restorative practices

Restorative practices is a new field of study that integrates developments from a variety of disciplines and fields—including education, psychology, social work, criminology, sociology, organizational development—in order to build healthy communities, increase social capital, decrease crime and antisocial behavior, repair harm and restore relationships (Wachtel 1999).
