Restorative justice responses to domestic violence in communities of color: findings from a multi-site evaluation

In recent years, Blue Shield of California Foundation has invested in non-punitive, community-based approaches to addressing domestic violence, recognizing the limitations of law enforcement and crisis services in supporting survivors, families, and communities in healing from harm.

This report presents findings from an evaluation of four grantee organizations implementing restorative practice models to address domestic violence. It describes the models, examines their implementation, and assesses participant outcomes, with a focus on healing and safety for survivors and impacted communities.
