Document Summary
Soc 3710 midterm 2 essay questions: discuss the major assumptions of restorative justice. Use examples from lectures, readings, and the videos circles, hollow water, and glimmer of hope in your answer. Assumption that crime impacts the victims, offenders, and the community: seeks to bring comfort to the victims and their family. Restorative justice is an alternative to jail, meant to help the offenders learn from their mistakes and fix the damage they"ve caused to the victims and the community. Restorative justice is meant to teach the offender about their accountability in the crime: hollow water: the parents who sexually assaulted their children were given two years to admit their guilt and take responsibility for their actions. If they weren"t given this opportunity to become accountable for their actions, they likely would have come back to the community and done it again. Also sexual assault was a community-wide problem, which would"ve influenced the parents to continue sexually assaulting their kids.
