What if sitting face-to-face with the person who murdered your family could actually heal you instead of destroy you?
Discover why traditional court systems fail victims by turning them into witnesses to their own crimes and how restorative justice gives back the voice, agency and healing that punishment alone cannot provide.
In this episode:
- How restorative justice gives victims agency and answers that traditional court systems cannot provide, including Amanda's transformative meeting with her family's murderer after 28 years
- The connection between unresolved childhood trauma and criminal behavior, plus why addressing these root causes prevents future crimes and protects communities
- Breaking generational cycles of harm through accountability, understanding and healing rather than perpetuating punishment-only approaches that fail everyone
