Justice Program

As many schools and school districts across the nation consider replacing traditional behavioral management strategies with restorative practices, this case asks the readers to consider the challenges a school leader may face when attempting to implement school-wide procedural change. In this case, a school leader faced with race-based discipline disparities attempts to challenge this nationwide trend by bringing in a local organization to conduct restorative justice facilitation and reduce the school’s out-of-school suspension numbers. This proves to be challenging due to the systems that existed prior to this change and her difficulties in getting buy-in from her staff. This case may be used in leadership preparation courses as an example of the complexity and considerations involved when implementing restorative justice as an alternative discipline strategy.

Second, to what extent the right to legal counsel could help the minor to enjoy their constitutional rights as well as to seek a better solution of their problem. The research done by observing the review hearing, pre-trial, petition, trial at the Fourth Judicial District Courthouse Provo and the detention hearing at Slate Canyon Youth Center.

Central Claim

This is a book review of Justice on Both Sides: Transforming Education Through Restorative Justice by Maisha Winn. The book's central claim is that restorative justice is a transformative practice that should be implemented in schools. Winn (2018) provides an explanation of the paradigmatic shift needed by educators to successfully implement the program. She explores current programs through a qualitative study and uses ethnographic data to tell the story of students, faculty, and administrators as they participate in restorative justice. This book does not provide any easy answers or a step by step guide. But it does offer the path to critical consciousness that educators need to effectively implement a restorative justice program.

Justice Program

The analytical and practical field of restorative justice is linked to the debates on the new social conflict management that challenge the institutional design of criminal justice and the Brazilian legal system. When starting from the problematization of the Brazilian criminal justice, we assume that the penalty under neoliberalism presents itself as a societal project that is sustained by the paradox of the potentiation of the police and penitentiary State and the minimization of the economic and social areas of action of the State. Thus, restorative justice emerges as an efficient conflict resolution mechanism, mainly because its criminal approach is based on equating relationships and repairing the damage caused to individuals and communities. In this context, this research aims at analyzing the impact of the implementation of the Restorative Justice Program of the General Department of Social and Education Actions (DEGASE, abbreviation in Portuguese) established by Ordinance 441 of September 13, 2017, within the scope of the social and education units, as well as the challenges presented to those responsible for implementing the law in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (judges, public defenders, members of the Public Prosecution Service and the DEGASE System) inthe management of restorative practices directed at juvenile offenders deprived of freedom. This problematization raises questions about the limits of the definition of crime and punishment; the relationship between criminal law; and the protection of human rights. The research is structured in three stages: systematic review of the academic field of restorative justice and the Brazilian criminal justice system; elaboration of a framework of the experiences of policies developed in the field of restorativejustice in the state of Rio de Janeiro; and the elaboration of the sociodemographic profile of adolescents and their family structure –analyzing the variables:gender, infraction, age group, monthly family income, education, family structure, and territoriality. It is expected to obtain a critical view of the state of the art of literature on restorative justice in the Brazilian criminal justice system and the debate in the field of conflict resolution criminalized by juvenile offenders served by the Restorative Justice Program of the General Department of Social and Education Actions (DEGASE).

Both restorative justice and arts-based programs within the juvenile justice system provide offenders with promising alternatives to the punitive sanctions utilized by many courts. The present article represents an initial examination of how the restorative justice media-arts program – Young New Yorkers – employs restorative justice principles via the media-arts practice of digital storytelling. Findings suggest the digital storytelling allowed participants to create a narrative discourse about their crimes, their impact, and ways to improve their communities. Further, the production of digital stories enabled participants to process restorative values and apply them toward themselves and their social worlds through recontextualization and rearticulation and then realignment of selves in the digital storytelling process. Together these findings underscore the need for more research focusing on the participants’ perspective of restorative justice initiatives to promote greater and more consistent behavioral changes for youth.

Restorative justice has become a global social movement for criminal justice reform, with over eighty countries adopting some form of restorative justice program to tackle their crime problems. The theory of restorative justice was introduced to the Chinese academia in 2002. So far, various restorative justice programs have been developed in China. This paper aims to systematically review the development of restorative justice in China by analyzing academic literature on restorative justice and key legislative documentations. Major debates in restorative justice among Chinese scholars and a review of the indigenous restorative justice practice, criminal reconciliation (Xingshi Hejie), are provided. The study also analyzes the impetus of this soaring popularity of restorative justice in China, considering the macro social, political and legal background. Last but not least, a review of the major evaluation studies of current programs reveals that little is known about the process of various restorative justice programs from the parties’ own perspective.

Insight Into

Restorative justice is meant to be an alternative to retributive justice by putting the process and outcome of justice back in the hands of those involved in a crime. Through narrative inquiry, this study posed the question, “how does restorative justice impact youth in conflict with the law?” Anti-oppressive perspectives and critical and post-modern theories were used to analyze the narratives of participants and provide insight into the potential of restorative justice as an empowering alternative to retributive justice. Youth found the process beneficial in a number of ways. However, youth still experienced criminalization before participating in a restorative justice program, suggesting that the model is unable to completely minimize the marginalizing impacts of retributive justice. Furthermore, participants’ narratives demonstrated the need for the restorative justice model to incorporate a critical analysis of intersectionality into its program delivery to avoid mirroring the oppressive relations of the mainstream system.
