When the justice system leaves victims and offenders without closure or resolution, a newer approach, called restorative justice, could be the relief. We talk to a Wisconsinite who brought restorative justice practices to much of the state. We also hear from two candidates, Ron Kind who is running for 3rd Congressional District, and Rebecca Kleefisch who is running for lieutenant governor.
