Restorative Justice Practice Questions
Course Introduction
Restorative Justice is a course that explores alternative approaches to justice that focus on repairing harm, restoring relationships, and addressing the needs of victims, offenders, and communities. Students will examine the principles, practices, and theoretical foundations of restorative justice, including models such as victim-offender mediation, community conferencing, and circles. The course delves into the contrasts between restorative and retributive justice systems, analyzes case studies, and critically evaluates the effectiveness of restorative processes in various contexts, such as schools, the criminal justice system, and post-conflict societies. Through discussions and practical exercises, students will develop an understanding of how restorative justice can contribute to healing, community building, and social change.
