Restorative Justice Part 2: "There is no Champion”


In some New Hampshire counties, diversion programs give some people charged with generally low-level crimes the opportunity to make amends, get treatment for underlying problems, and move on in life without a criminal record.

But a lack of statewide standards and funding means that such opportunities are not available uniformly.
