CMR 595 - Restorative Justice
Course Description: Restorative Justice describes relatively new policies and practices within criminology. It generally involves important efforts to produce accountability, reconcilliation, and healing for victims, offenders, and others affected by crime. It has been applied to many forms of crime for shoplifting to homicide, as well as to massive criminal acts such as genocide and systematic oppression. Examples include Victim-Offender Mediated Dialogues, Diversionary Conferencing, Community Conflict Councils, and Truth & Reconciliation Commissions. Controversies exist regarding its utility and appropriate application in many of these areas, especially in crimes of domestic violence. This seminar explores the theoretical framework for applying restorative justice to post-conflict societies in the international arena.
