Identify the four steps involved in restorative justice. Give a fictitious scenario thatillustrates these steps.
What will be an ideal response?
1) publicly recognizing and acknowledging the hurt and damage done to victims; 2) allowing the victims to publicly confront their abusers so the abusers must hear what harm they’ve caused; 3) encouraging the abusers to acknowledge their actions and to take responsibility for them; and 4) allowing the victims a voice in the resolution of their grievances, and then where possible, reintegrating both victims and the offenders into a more just society.For example, let’s say Country A forced a minority ethnic group to leave the country within a certain time. As a result, about 500,000 people from this group were put on a forced march during which almost half of them starved to death. This genocide happened about 50 years ago. Recently, Country A went through a restorative justice process, which involved the country acknowledging the damage done to this ethnic group and allowing the survivors of the forced march to confront those still alive who were responsible for it. Also, Country A encouraged the officials overseeing the forced march to accept the responsibility for the atrocity. Finally, Country A allowed the victims a voice in deciding the resolution of their grievances, which turned out to be financial compensation for the property lost and other damages done.
