In this short You Tube film - http://youtu.be/MCEboJ1k5Ek , Desmond Tutu describes his thoughts and feelings on Restorative Justice and forgiveness.

Although describing it as being based upon his Christian values, they are surely also applicable from a humanist and other religious basis too.
Veteran Offenders - NO OFFENCE Conference
