Restorative justice (aka Healing Circles) is a small but increasing part of Canadian criminal law after having been inspired by our Aboriginal Communities. I believe it was a ground up movement enabled by flexible sentencing options.

Statistically it seems to improve victim satisfaction and generate positive mental health impacts for all participants, "among other benefits" ie. it is really cheap.
