Restorative justice is not a new concept, but it largely has not been applied in animal crimes. In this webinar, Brittany Hill, Criminal Justice Program Fellow, will introduce the audience to restorative justice, provide a general overview of the theories behind it, discuss its potential impact on animal victims, and explore its possibilities in crimes against animals.
This webinar was prerecorded. Watch it now!
