I believe restorative justice is directly applicable to peace and conflict resolution efforts globally. I have a passion for justice and civil rights/human rights.
Since 1992 I have been actively involved in reforming the criminal justice system in the U.S. and internationally. I believe restorative justice principles are critically important in bringing about those needed changes.

I directed an in-prison victim offender pilot program inside a medium security prison in the U.S. in 1998 through PFI. This experience gave me a deeper understanding the power of restorative justice and the need for it.

Thanks for your comments.
The core Governance issues mean to me is in lack of supply of good political human resource. many common and good citizens donot join political parties nor contest elections. Thus there is hereditary kinship , familism in political domain which leads to corruption. The sons , wifes of politicians become leaders which is not democracy.
just few thoughts and there are other governance issues too.
Therefor i feel so happy when i see u contest elections.
Take care
with solidarity

You are doing great work on restorative justice. i like your decision to participate as a candidate in elections. Keep it up. results are not important but the spirit of participation. like to talk more on governance. take care.
