Three years ago, Just Outcomes traveled across Canada to listen to victims’ and survivors’ experiences with restorative justice. These included the voices of those suffering from property crime to the impact of homicide, from grieving family members to Indigenous youth. This project was funded through the Department of Justice, Canada—Centre for Policy on Victims Issues.
