What can indigenous people and diverse faith traditions teach us about justice for victims, perpetrators of crime and the community? Dr. Mark Umbreit has been at the forefront of the restorative justice movement, which has had great success in challenging what he calls the "trail, jail, and nail" system. Umbreit is a professor at the University of Minnesota School of Social Work, founding director of the Center for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking, a practicing mediator and author of four books and more than 100 articles in the field of mediation and restorative justice.
