The Center for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking has established a second site at UMD, to expand the scope of its work across communities. The UMD site director is Dr. Emily Gaarder, associate professor of Criminology, Sociology, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
Please join Center Director Mark Umbreit for "Restorative Justice in the 21st Century: A Social Movement in the Global Community" on Monday, Oct 1 at 3:30 in Griggs Center.
