CDP Conversation July 12 at 7 pm: "Restorative Justice": What Mends the Social Contract?

7/6/2021

Restorative justice is an approach originating in the US in the late 1950’s as a new response to criminal behavior focused on lawbreaker restitution and the resolution of issues arising from a crime.  Crime victims, convicted offenders, and the community are brought together in efforts to restore harmony among the parties involved. Despite the obvious resonance of the concepts, restorative justice in the US is not “truth and reconciliation”. It is an official part of the legal system in hundreds of states and localities throughout the US, including Santa Fe County.
