CONFLICT AND RESOLUTION

This course is an introduction to the restorative/transformative justice paradigm. It begins with an overview of modern criminal justice systems, with a focus on the centrality of punishment in responses to crime. The idea of "justice" is considered and debated in terms of the restorative and retributive justice concepts. Particular attention is paid to the important elements of values and relationships in restorative justice practices. Issues relating to the three key stakeholder groups-victims, offenders, and community-are discussed and debated. An introduction to existing program models in restorative justice will be provided.
