Background: Beginning with foundational information about restorative justice, its benefits, and how it is used internationally, the poster then presents two pocket discussions for support of adoption. Objectives: Conventionality control and the alignment of state-level policy change to come more in alignment with restorative justice-focused international policies highlights the progress that has been made. Historical context is given to labor/land reform, progress from leadership corruption to transparency, and union redevelopment so that progress may be again highlighted. Implications: Finally, justification is given as to how these leadership-driven changes align with local cultural identity. Conclusion: This is significant because of the lack of extant research that moves away from the theoretical discussions about the benefit of adopting restorative justice policies at the organizational development or governmental levels, instead offering readership an example of how implementation functionally works.

Ms. Thatcher incorporates her all-ages history museum educator past with her anthropology background to contextualize her work inside of socio-cultural constructs.
