Re: Unidentified subject! [resorative justice, I think]

["Robert Dickow" <dickow@uidaho.edu>]

Tony Brown's contribution of a case study of restorative justice is
interesting and seems to give a picture of a successful case study of an
alternative justice outcome. But my gosh, it's so involved!! Each case must
nneds be complex and has to be handled in such an intensive way. Is this a
viable solution for 'justice' in general? I am slightly doubtful about this
system as a workable solution all-around.

And I am really having trouble imagining how such an approach would work
with the DC snipers, for example. Do we just give them a few million hours
of community service, with appologies to the families of the decedants?
Perhaps all I lack is imagination here. Suggestions?

Returning to the subject of restorative justice and healing the harm of
crime... The following is another case study and offers more background on
the level of profound healing which has led to communities to embrace this
new paradigm of justice. One such agency being the Idaho Department of
Juvenile Corrections.
