Oasis

“We’ve got a growing number of outcasts who are willing to burn the whole place down to feel its warmth and if you keep ostracising them, we keep labelling them as racists and bigots, we will only perpetuate the problem.”

Words from Jacob Dunne, author, campaigner and upcoming Restoration Revolution speaker, in a recent interview with The Guardian on the cycle of male violence.

Jacob argues whilst violent behaviour is not excusable, we must address its underlying causes which is often a deep need for love and belonging. Restorative justice is the key.
