This source is important to us because it gives us a deeper knowledge and understanding of what restorative justice is and each component of these steps. It also goes deeper into ways to incorporate restorative justice in our local neighboring community. The audience for this source could vary but I think the intended audience for this source was not only people who deal with adolescents and juveniles in the Saint Louis area but also those who reside in other states other than Saint Louis. They really talked about solutions pertaining to Saint Louis, but you can apply these things in areas greater than Saint Louis as well.  No, the creator is not trying to prove anything, rather the author is more so trying to just inform the reader about restorative justice and its impacts on the victim and community. They are also going into depth about the programs they have implemented in schools and the community.
