- The problem with rewarding good behavior.
- How a retributive system functions.
- The standard for risk assessment.
- How restorative culture functions.
- Why sharing experiences is key.
- What is expected under a solid restorative justice system.

Quotes:
“If our purpose is to make a better workplace, then we need a system that for most people, most of the time, it’s doing a good job.”
“When we talk about safety, we’re not talking about elements of a typical criminal offense; we’re talking about things that in the criminal courts would be talking about negligence. Which is all about meeting acceptable standards.”
“Sidney emphasizes a lot the importance of all stakeholders to share their stories with each other.”
