    Study Notes

    Different Notions of Justice

    • Philosophers generally distinguish between consequentialist and retributivist justifications for punishment.
    • Consequentialist justifications focus on controlling behavior (reducing reoccurrence of the offense through incapacitation, deterrence, or rehabilitation).
    • Retributivist justifications focus on restoring justice.
    • Research suggests justice restoration, not behavior control, is the dominant motivation for punishment.
    • Retributive justice focuses on punishment proportionate to the severity of the wrongdoing, to restore justice.
    • Restorative justice focuses on getting the affected parties involved in the process of restoring justice.
    • Restorative justice sees transgressions as conflicts and involves the offender, the victim, and their respective communities in conflict resolution.
    • Psychological research investigates whether different notions of justice guide responses to transgressions and the factors that determine people's justice notions.

    Restorative Justice

    • Restorative justice practices are put forward as an alternative to the traditional criminal justice system.
    • Restorative justice emphasizes direct involvement of the affected parties in the justice process.
    • The goal is to restore a sense of justice through a renewed value consensus.
    • Restorative justice practices can be used in situations beyond the criminal domain.

    Restitution, Compensation, and Censure

    • Restorative justice aims to resolve transgressions that violate distributive norms.
    • Distributive norms are violated when there is a loss or harm that needs to be compensated.
    • Transgressions that violate procedural norms require a re-establishment of fairness and neutrality.
    • Restorative justice is particularly relevant when intention, gross negligence, and blame are attributed to the transgressor.
    • Restorative justice aims to repair harm and restore trust through various measures including apologies and restitution.

    Retributive and Restorative Justice Addressing Symbolic Implications

    • Retributive justice is about the imposition of punishment through adjudication or revenge.
    • Restorative justice is about renewing value consensus.
    • When transgression is perceived as a violation of shared values, restorative justice aims to re-establish a consensus about those values.
    • Offenders' remorse and apology can contribute to the validation of those values and contribute to the reestablishment of consensus.
    • Shared group identity is central to the endorsement of a restorative justice notion.
    • Victims are motivated to reaffirm values through social consensus when they share an identity with the offender in terms of a common group.
    • When there is a lack of shared identification with a relevant inclusive group, victims may see the offense as an illegitimate appropriation of status and power, leading to a preference for retributive justice.
