Study Notes
Restorative Justice
- Restorative Justice (RJ) is a democratic way to respond to injustice, dealing with democracy, and not betraying it when facing evil.
- RJ is built on participation, voluntary basis, and democracy, unlike imprisonment and lethal injections.
RJ vs. Traditional Justice
- Traditional justice focuses on punishment, retribution, and violence, whereas RJ focuses on democracy, dialogue, and persuasion.
- RJ is a method to follow in both good and bad times, not just a luxury for good times.
Albert Dzur's Work
- Albert Dzur is a political scientist who supports RJ and has written a book called "Democracy Inside" about participatory innovation in unlikely places, including criminal justice.
- Dzur devotes a chapter to criminal justice, discussing how RJ can be used in this context.
Regulation Pyramid
- The regulation pyramid is a concept in RJ that prioritizes persuasion and dialogue over punishment and coercion.
- The pyramid is flexible and dynamic, adjusting to different situations and behaviors.
- The goal is to use the minimum sufficient deterrence and punishment as a last resort.
Responsive Regulation
- Responsive regulation is a theory that uses a pyramid of interventions to respond to different situations and behaviors.
- The approach is proportional, consistent, transparent, targeted, and timely, and mixes compliance and enforcement.
- The system adjusts itself to each situation, using dialogue and persuasion first, and escalating to more punitive measures only when necessary.
New Model of Justice
- A new model of justice is needed, one that abandons retribution, deterrence, violence, and coercion, and moves towards democracy, public ownership, and responsibility-taking.
- RJ is a step towards this new model, focusing on active participation, dialogue, and persuasion.
RJ in Practice
- RJ has been used in real-life cases, such as in the documentary "A Better Man" (2017), where a woman meets her abusive ex-partner and they work towards understanding, responsibility-taking, and healing.
- RJ has also been used in a docufilm called "The Meeting", where a woman and her offender meet and work towards justice and healing.
Definitions of RJ
- RJ is defined as a process in which the victim and offender, and other affected parties, participate actively in the resolution of matters arising from the crime, with the help of a facilitator.
- RJ may include mediation, conciliation, conferencing, and sentencing circles.
- Restorative outcomes include responses and programs such as reparation, restitution, and community service, aimed at meeting the individual and collective needs and responsibilities of the parties and achieving reintegration.
