ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at embodying restorative justice (RJ) at three levels. First, attending to self: How do RJ facilitators incorporate restorative practices into their daily lives? Second, attending to people: what understandings must one have about power differentials to truly engage in restorative justice? How do you coach people to think about themselves as equal participants in these processes? and What equitable work has to be done to create equality? The chapter addresses attending to systems: How does one engage within systems that are inherently hierarchical and find ways to make them compatible with RJ? What measures, steps, and procedures are required to maintain the integrity of RJ, especially when engaging with sensitive topics such as campus sexual misconduct? Prevention-focused institutions should have RJ processes that push participants and the institution to consider the relationships the involved parties have beyond the incident itself and what relationships the participants have with the campus community, their peer groups, society as a whole.
