30 Issues: Restorative Justice - a podcast by WNYC

Restorative justice in schools was embraced by the Obama administration as a way to break the school to prison pipeline and address the racial disparities in suspensions and expulsions, but Parkland father Andrew Pollack singles it out as a factor in the shooting that killed his daughter and so many others. Emily Bazelon—staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, co-host of Slate's "Political Gabfest" podcast, Truman Capote fellow for creative writing and law at Yale Law School and author of Charged: The New Movement to Transform American Prosecution and End Mass Incarceration (Random House, 2019) —talks about the policy and the politics around its use in schools and in courtrooms.
