Moving From Retributive to Restorative Justice: The Nova Scotia RJ Program
At the recent IIRP World Conference, "Restoring Community in a Disconnected World, Part 2,"
Jennifer Llewellyn presented a paper on the Nova Scotia Restorative Justice Program. Described
as the most developed and comprehensive restorative justice program in Canada and a leader in
the world, it began as a pilot program in 1999 in four communities and by November 2001 extended
to the whole province. From the outset, the program has been aimed at becoming a comprehensive
alternative to the mainstream punitive and/or rehabilitative criminal justice system for both
youth and adult offenders. Read Llewellyn's paper, Restorative Collaboration: The Nova Scotia Restorative Justice Program.
