Discipline that Restores
PACS is a leader in developing and implementing restorative justice principles. School discipline is one area that can benefit greatly by using RJ principles. We offer curriculum, training and consultation in the process, as well as graduate education leading to the MA degree or graduate certificate.
Restorative Justice Project
RJP has a three-fold mission:
  1. Through PACS RJP to assist churches and other groups in their ministry of beginning new Victim Offender Reconciliation Programs.
  2. Through Restorative Justice Project.org to assist government and non-profit agencies in implementing restorative justice principles in their programs.
  3. Through Restorative Justice International.org to assist in reconciliation at the societal, national and international levels.
Papers on Restorative Justice are available at the PACS Documents site.
RJP holds an annual conference.
