- Restorative Justice: Taught by Dr. Ken Lang 2:10 to 3:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Restorative Justice focuses on repairing harm and rebuilding relationships rather than simply punishing people for their actions.
Lang’s interest in the subject developed after his 25-year career in law enforcement. He first learned about restorative justice after retiring from the police force and transitioning into higher education.
Lang said he saw a connection between restorative justice and his Christian faith, particularly its focus on forgiveness, accountability and reconciliation.
“I saw how it could be effective in cases where offenders were willing to fully accept responsibility for their actions and make amends,” Lang said.
Throughout the semester, students will learn about the origins of restorative justice in Indigenous cultures and how its principles are used in modern society. They will also gain practical experience by planning and facilitating a restorative justice circle.
