NESTA, funding our work through "Restorative Technology Ltd", has also produced the 'Radical Efficiency' report in which they acknowledge the work of a friend in Brazil who is innovating, clarifying and offering Restorative Justice to great effect:
'A great example of a new entrant to an issue bringing passion, naive intelligence and insights from elsewhere is Dominic Barter, who founded restorative circles,"
(I have paraphrased p11 of the report here; see p42-43 for much more about RJ in Brazil)
To see any of the Interviews 1-6 with Dominic about his Restorative Justice work, about Radical Efficiency and SafeGround, please go to my YouTube Channel:
