What Restorative Justice Is
Episode 13
Friday, 2 April, 2021
The practice of restorative justice is mentioned in multiple places in Utah code, but it lacks a clear definition. In the 2021 Session, Rep. Andrew Stoddard sponsored H.B.330 to give the concept of restorative justice a uniform definition. But then, a majority of the House voted it down. In this episode, Rep. Stoddard talks about why misunderstandings about what restorative justice actually is resulted in the bill failing. And, Nate Blouin, a renewable energy advocate, shares his family's experience of choosing to apply restorative justice after his father’s tragic death.
