Document Summary
Lecture 21: restorative justice thursday, march 29th. Restorative justice: problem solving approach based on principle that crime injuries victims, communities, and offenders, all these parties should be involved in efforts to address the behaviour and its consequences, a set of principles, not a specific practice. A new perspective: traditional criminal justice perspective, crime is a violation of a criminal law, sociological perspective, crime is a violation of established social norms/values, rj perspective, crime is a violation of relationships. In 1996 canada became the 1st country in the world to include restorative justice as a legitimate option within the criminal code. In 1998, a house of commons justice committee report recommended the use of restorative justice: victim-offender reconciliation programs (vorp) viewed as especially appealing. Important challenge: world views operationalized in euro-canadian and indigenous justice systems often clash. Beyond the societal benefits of restorative justice, there is a considerable amount of satisfaction.
