By Debora Gordon - On a more personal level than the criminal justice system, many of us on the “outside” also seek redress for harm done. In the school system, of late, there has been a focus on a process called restorative justice, which in part is a mediated discussion between the wrong-doer and the victim, as part of the healing process for both. I am interested in the concept of forgiveness, if it is possible, if it is for the forgiver or the forgiven, the victim or the offender.
