Working Together Is in the Best Interests of Society: Teaching Restorative Justice Skills to Business Students

This paper presents the results of an empirical study examining whether business students’ restorative justice skills, specifically empathy and perspective taking, can be improved. Data were collected at the beginning and the end of the semester. The results showed no change in empathy but a significant increase in perspective taking ability for both undergraduate and graduate students.
