Restorative Solutions & Interventions

We specialize in conflict where one party or organization has harmed another, and the responsible party is willing to own their misconduct and make it right.

 

A restorative approach offers numerous benefits including:

  • Discretion: a private process rather than the public forum of legal proceedings
  • Cost: significant savings in legal fees and other costs
  • Time: restorative processes can move swiftly — with resolutions achieved in weeks, saving months or years compared to other recourses
  • Control: we collaborate with clients on a customized process to suit each case’s unique needs

We will analyze your internal or external conflict and collaborate on a customized intervention and solution.

Retail Theft: Causes, Choices & Consequences

Retail theft – ‘shoplifting’ – is one of the most common cases referred to restorative justice.

Too often, offenders see shoplifting as a minor offence, and have a hard time imagining a retail business as a ‘victim.’  But retail theft is estimated up to 14 billion dollars annually.  It harms business, retail employees, consumers, local jobs and the economy at large.  Not to mention the harms to people’s sense of safety in their workplace and community.

This course, Retail Theft: Causes, Choices and Consequences aims to inform offenders of the numerous and wide-ranging impacts of their actions.  Learners will obtain a greater understanding of what it looks like to be accountable for the harms they cause to others, and the impacts on their own life outcomes.
