From Micro To Macro: Restorative Justice As A Global Social And Political Movement
Restorative Justice involves applications of conflict resolution to issues conventionally addressed by nation-states and other ?higher levels? of government; including and especially the kinds of ?micro? problems currently remanded to criminal justice systems. Within establishmentarian systems, RJ argues for an independent judiciary unfettered by mandatory sentencing laws. Outside these systems, RJ advocates for facilitated, consensus-model methodologies, several of which have had success at the ?micro? level in reducing re-offending. John will extend these discussions into some ?macro? speculations on RJ applications in cases of transgressions of nations against nations and peoples against peoples.
