The Search For Restorative Justice

Improved Essays
While searching for restorative justice, the phrase “objectively manage violence while publicly acknowledge wrongdoing“ (Erbe, 2005, p. 5) was used. Although this describes restorative justice and it is also a great foundation for reacting and approaching to crime. It highlights that harms need to be addressed and that the crime, both the offender and itself, needs to be examined. When crime happens, I think it is important for it to be acknowledged, not for the offender but to help the victim. Howard Zehr discusses how crime cannot be founded in justice and in hurting the offender, but in helping the concerns of victims be acknowledged (2002, p.22). Beginning to help victims is the first step in approaching crime. The second step to

    Direct Victim: The direct victim in the case study is a factory manager who explains that he was shocked and horrified by the mess and damage from the crime. His financial losses were not only the cost of the damages, but also the loss of making money the entire day as the day was spent cleaning up the mess (Crosland, P., & Liebmann, M. 2003). Although the financial needs of the direct victim were not met because the offenders were young children and could not repay it; according to the victim motives for participation in our textbook, the victim’s emotional needs seem to have been met. Some of the needs that were met are holding the offender accountable (the offender took full responsibility for his part in the crime), learning…

    Nils Christie wrote “Conflicts as Property” arguing the importance of conflicts in society and how they have become property that can be used and stolen. In this critical summary I will summarize and then critically analyze his work to determine if I agree with his argument. Christie opens the paper by arguing the importance of conflicts in our society and that “they ought to be used, and become useful, for those originally involved in the conflict.” He continues by describing how conflicts are taken from the victim, who “is so thoroughly represented that she or he of most of the proceedings is pushed completely out of the arena, reduced to the triggerer-off of the whole thing.” The author also denounces courts and lawyers that, he believes, are trained to steal, prevent, and solve conflicts.…

    For example, Jacquie’s mother was murdered by first time offenders who were convicted and imprisoned. However, Jacquie was emotionally devastated due to continuous court proceedings in which she had to express her victim impact statements. The restorative justice model incorporates personal values, so it was a valuable opportunity for the offenders and Jacquie to gain insight regarding the reasons for the murder and the sharing of compassion and emotions that was not possible in the state-based justice process. According to Jacquie, the experience with the restorative justice model was accommodating because it allowed the offenders to show empathy, mutual understanding, and accountability for the crimes that they have committed. Jacquie was extremely fearful and suffered from anxiety before engaging in a collaborative interaction with one of the offenders, but she noticed that the offender demonstrated great remorse and shame for his horrendous involvement.…

However, if Restorative Justice let victims talk to their offender, then the victim and the offender would talk about what's on their mind about the problem.

    Archbishop Desmond Tutu expresses in the following simple yet elegant phrase the philosophies inherent in restorative justice, “…true reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the hurt, and the truth…”. The frank exposure of emotional, physical and psychological injury may, however, adversely impact the victim(s) or alleged perpetrator in the short term. While restorative justice can be a risky undertaking, “only an honest confrontation with reality can bring real healing”. In the criminal justice system today in the United States, “real healing” seems to be a secondary principle; priority is given to proving the innocence or guilt of the accused in a trial conducted by a judge with the services of lawyers and the jury. The main stakeholders,…

    A brief review of the book “The Little Book of Restorative Justice,” by Howard Zehr, is based upon one idea, how should this society respond to wrong doings and what should be done with the victims and offenders? The book begins by telling us that the criminal justice system is not meeting the needs of the people with in that system, ultimately the system is failing however there still may be some good qualities. Zehr expresses that, “restorative justice is an attempt to address some of the needs and limitations,” (3) and by doing this he first tells his audience what restorative justice is not, to give us, his readers a better understanding of what it really is. Also to you could say that he does this so we can have a stronger foundation while learning what, The Little Book of Restorative Justice,” is and not being completely biased…

    Deterrence should be considered one of the primary objectives of the criminal justice system and criminal law because deterrence acts as a countermeasure against the probability of the occurrence of criminal acts in the future. Deterrence protects public from criminal acts because “The threat of punishment deters people from engaging in illegal acts” (Cassidy, n.d.). Restitution, on the other hand, is meant to give an opportunity to a perpetrator to rectify himself and to assimilate into the mainstream society, and such an act restores faith of the common public in the justice system, and this also provides opportunity to the justice system to refrain from providing long-term punishment mistakenly to an innocent. Retribution is a goal which must be accomplished by the criminal law in order to prohibit a perpetrator to roam free again and inflict untreatable wounds to the society. And, the objective of rehabilitation must be accomplished by the criminal justice system in order to transform a perpetrator into a responsible citizen and to thereby protect the society from yet another…

    that they once trusted. In a an law article titled I Just Wanted Him to Hear Me': Sexual Violence and the Possibilities of Restorative Justice, restorative justice is said to be ‘contentious’ as it may trivialize violence against women, re-victimize the vulnerable, and endanger the safety of victim-survivors (McGlynn, Westmarland, & Godden, 2012). In fact, Angela Cameron, author of `Stopping the Violence' a theoretical criminology book claims that, “To introduce restorative justice is to `gamble' with women's lives” (Cameron, 2006). Similarly, Ruth Lewis et al. suggest that, “Restorative conferencing is just another attempt to `divert' violence against women `away from the justice system and into the hands of others” (Lewis et al.,2001).…

    Also, this could include restoration of the community which helps the community heal the bonds a crime has broken (Hirsch, 1999 p. 14-16).This is a major difference from both the retributive and utilitarian perspectives due to the incorporation of the victims as well as repairing a community. These two perspectives are focused on severity, proportionality and vengeance, and on the other hand focused of incapacitation of dangerous offenders and the happiness standard (Greenwalt,…

    Criminal justice is often centered around simple punishment for the offender. In a situation where a crime creates harm, justice is often synonymous with revenge. Restorative justice and rehabilitative therapy are two different approaches to justice that offer different perspectives and understanding of reconciliation. Both of these approaches allow for healing but the two different theories complete this objective in different ways. Restorative justice and rehabilitative therapy offer different in depth lenses of reconciliation in criminal justice through multi layered perspectives, while also sharing some concepts.…

    A potential threat to this way of justice being delivered comes in the form of restorative justice: the idea that the offender should meet with the victim and begin to restore things to the way they had been previously, before the crime had been committed, thus giving the victim a sense of security, as well as integrating the offender back into society which would, effectively, reduce recidivism. It has been argued that restorative justice could transform public debate about crime and justice because of how different it is to the current system.. Researchers have argued that there are many benefits to adopting a restorative approach and they have provided evidence to back that up, thus enabling the public to look at crime and justice differently and see that by going through this process, it could work out well for everyone. However, there have also been criticisms made against the restorative approach which could, in effect, lead to no transformations regarding public debate being made. Some of the criticisms include the fact that restorative justice could potentially cause more harm than good, and that in some cases, it is completely ineffective.…
