Caption: Creative activities are used as part of a restorative justice process in Shetland.
People in Shetland can choose to make handmade items as part of their restorative justice (RJ) process supported through the charity Space2face.
These items are then sometimes gifted to the other person involved in the process. The handmade items are made co-creatively with artists at Space2face who are also trained RJ practitioners.
Gifting is most usually from the person responsible to the person harmed. But sometimes this takes place the other way round and sometimes involves a joint gift exchange. Gifting always occurs as part of a facilitated and risk-assessed dialogue as part of the RJ process, and only if both parties agree.
Background:
Restorative justice is a voluntary process of supported contact between a person who has caused harm and someone who has experienced harm. Where appropriate, this can also include their families and supporters.
Restorative justice does not always occur between a person who has experienced harm and/or a person who has caused that harm. It can also be used to address secondary harm caused by organisations or systems, conflict experienced across a community group and/or circles of those who have experienced similar types of harm. This is often referred to as ‘restorative practice’ or a ‘restorative approach’.
Restorative justice takes many forms, based on what is best for the parties involved, their needs and their continued safety. This is explored through the planning, preparation stages and continued risk assessment by a specially trained facilitator. Approaches include face-to-face conferences or meetings, letter-writing, video conferencing, ‘shuttle dialogue’ and healing circles.
Restorative justice has many evidence-based benefits for those who have experienced harm and also those who have caused harm, their families and communities. These can include being given a choice, empowerment, recovery, improved wellbeing and the process can also help prevent people from causing further harm.
Restorative Justice in Scotland:
It’s a voluntary and consent-based process in Scotland and any party can discontinue their engagement in the process at any point without losing support from services in place, to ensure trauma-informed practice continues.
Restorative justice can be considered by adults, children and young people in Scotland in a way which is responsive to trauma and takes a rights-based approach.
Research shows people in Scotland want the option of exploring restorative justice across a range of crime types, including those considered serious and sensitive in nature. This does not mean it will always go ahead, but even the choice is found to be empowering.
Restorative justice operates in parallel to the criminal justice and youth justice systems in Scotland and is never used an alternative to this. Outcomes achieved and/or agreed through restorative justice have no impact on any decisions taken throughout the criminal justice process.

Anorthosite in the Precambrian of New York State, USA.
Anorthosite is a coarsely-crystalline, intrusive igneous rock dominated by plagioclase feldspar. A major occurrence of this uncommon rock is in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. In this area, the rocks have been regionally metamorphosed, but the overall mineralogy is the same.
At this site, megacrystic anorthosite is present - plagioclase crystals are often quite sizable. Some labradorescent megacrysts are present on the outcrop face. Some float samples have garnet.
Geologic unit: Marcy Anorthosite, late Mesoproterozoic, 1.16 Ga

Valley of Fire State Park is a public recreation and nature preservation area covering nearly 46,000 acres (19,000 ha) located 16 miles (26 km) south of Overton, Nevada. The state park derives its name from red sandstone formations, the Aztec Sandstone, which formed from shifting sand dunes 150 million years ago. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays. It is Nevada's oldest state park, as commemorated with Nevada Historical Marker #150. It was designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1968.

Orto botanico dell'Università degli Studi di Padova:
The Cactus House in the Botanic Garden of Padua is a dedicated greenhouse showcasing a diverse collection of cacti and succulent plants, many of which are native to arid regions around the world. It was constructed in the 19th century as part of the garden's expansion and has since become a key feature for studying xerophytic plant life. The house maintains a controlled environment to support the unique needs of these plants, offering visitors an opportunity to explore the remarkable adaptations of desert flora.
The Botanic Garden of Padua, established in 1545, holds the distinction of being the oldest academic botanical garden in the world, and it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997 for its historical and scientific significance. It was founded by the University of Padua to provide students with a space for studying plants and medicine, reflecting the growing Renaissance interest in the natural sciences. The garden’s design is notable for its influence on the development of botanical gardens globally, combining academic research with practical applications in medicine and agriculture. The garden also serves as a symbol of the advancement of scientific knowledge during the Renaissance, particularly in the fields of botany and pharmacology.
The garden's main features include its structured layout, which is divided into distinct sections representing various plant species and their uses, from medicinal to ornamental. A central focus is the "oldest surviving plant bed," where medicinal plants have been cultivated for centuries. The garden also houses rare and endangered species, a historical collection of trees, and an impressive array of flowers and herbs. One of its most iconic structures is the Torre del Linneo (Linnaeus Tower), which honors the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus and his contribution to modern taxonomy. The Botanic Garden of Padua continues to be a vital center for scientific research, environmental conservation, and public education.

For FGR: Your Hometown
I've lived many places, but if I had to pick a hometown, it'd have to be Santa Barbara, California. I lived in SB County from 1972 through 1996, so yeah, I guess that's hometownish enough...
And I think it's safe to say that who I am today was made in Santa Barbara, although you'd probably never guess that if you knew the town and knew me...
