Are you an undergraduate student committed to developing new ways of thinking about crime and justice? The undergraduate Restorative Justice (RJ) program provides undergraduate students interested in restorative justice an opportunity to learn the value of restorative and innovative criminal justice programs.
Learn from leaders in restorative justice at our Center for Justice Reform, which addresses deficiencies in the criminal justice system and other responses to harm, conflict, and crime.
This course explores the impact of race on the criminal justice system and how restorative justice approaches might help address the systemic racism that permeates the system. Starting with the U.S. Constitution, the course will explore the 13th Amendment, convict leasing, Jim Crow, and the War on Drugs, mass incarceration, and racial disparities in arrest, prosecution, and sentencing practices.
Total program cost includes tuition. Limited scholarships are available.
