Everyone should have the opportunity to explore if restorative justice is right for them! #RJWeek

The theme of this year's #RJWeek is Restorative Justice as a human right. We asked our Ambassadors what they thought about it and we will be sharing their responses every day this week. This was the view of Sheldon, who was attacked by a young person, in an attempt to steal his phone.
