Restorative Justice/Victim-Offender Mediation Video Now Available

The video includes:

ABC 20/20 News broadcast, "Restoring Justice," powerfully tells the story of the drunk driving death mediation reported in articles on this web site. Also covered in the 20/20 program is the mediation of a home invasion burglary (by three juveniles) that resulted in over $20,000 in destruction to the home and loss of personal property, as well as great trauma to the homeowners and their two young children. (About 40 minutes total.)

Interview with Elizabeth Menkin, M.D., sister of Elaine Myers, who was killed in the drunk driving case mentioned above. Dr. Menkin speaks emotionally and articulately about her loss and pain, and her transformation and healing through the mediation process. She shares from a personal perspective, as well as from her experience as the medical director of a hospice, where she deals with people's needs and responses to death and dying on a daily basis. (About 25 minutes.)

"Making Amends," a segment of the broadcast "Save Our Streets" (a syndicated TV newsreel about crime and justice). This segment tells the story of the drunk driving death mediation from a different and powerful point of view. (About 6 minutes.)
