CJ 219 Restorative Practices: Mediation
In order to broaden understanding of nonviolent conflict resolution, I suggest you watch [or read about] "A Force More Powerful," the 2000 PBS documentary series which "....explores one of the 20th century's most important but least-understood stories - how nonviolent power overcame oppression and authoritarian rule all over the world."

Force More Powerful: Nashville: We Were Warriors
Force More Powerful: India: Defying the Crown
Force More Powerful: South Africa: Freedom in Our Lifetime
Force More Powerful: Denmark: Living with the Enemy
Force More Powerful: Poland: We've Caught God by the Arm
Force More Powerful: Chile: Defeat of a Dictator
I often use this series in the restorative justice course, too.....
